In true HJS style, we have started the new year, and new term, with gusto! Both class 2 and ourselves have enjoyed a brilliant trip on our first day back, to the Lifeskills Centre. Learning in real life scenarios, the centre allows children to experience dangers and hazards in a safe environment. Providing our young people with the opportunity to learn what to do and how to react in these situations means they are well equipped to stay safe themselves and also help others.
A huge thank you to Jake's grandfather, who has kindly lent us some real artefacts from the Second World War. Class One thoroughly enjoyed looking at them, discussing them and asking questions about them.
Finally, another huge thank you to Mrs Torbey, who prepared us a delicious traditional cake that is eaten to celebrate epiphany. Ironically, Jacques found the miniature king, and was crowned our leader! His Royal Highness chose a short debate on 'Are soldiers good or bad?' before treating his subjects to an extended Golden Time!
Topic homework this week, to be handed in next Friday is to choose three options for our upcoming WW2 open morning which will be happening next half term. Dates and info to be confirmed!
Maths homework, for Monday 13/01/14. I have given a short weekend homework of practicing times tables. We have discussed various techniques and as they really underpin the fraction work we are doing, I think this will be of benefit. Times Tables Blast on Monday!
