Mr Wolf’s Pancakes
Today we have enjoyed celebrating a belated pancake day! We read the story of Mr Wolf’s pancakes, and discussed what ingredients we would need to make our own. We spoke about the dangers of cooking on a hot hob, and how we can keep ourselves safe. We then all had a go at trying to use our knifes and forks properly, to cut and eat our delicious pancakes.

Community Clubs
Thank you to all the children in Intake and Wheatley who have attended our community clubs (Dance, Scootering, Problem Solving games, Girls Football, Scotty’s Heroes) over the past 5 months.
Fingers crossed we’ll be able to get these back up and running in the near future!

The parents smashed adding and subtracting fractions!
Yesterday in our maths parent workshop, we looked at adding and subtracting fractions. The parents did such a fantastic job and then they were able to support their children with their SATs revision.
Thank you to everyone who came to support. The online task for those who couldn’t is now on Google classroom. After half-term, we will be looking at multiplying and dividing fractions!

Year 3 Faith Day
This afternoon, we have been learning about the Islamic Religion, in particular, about the mosques where muslims worship.
After finding out some background information, we were really pleased to be joined by Rayyan’s mum, who talked to us and answered our questions about her faith.
After building our knowledge, we demonstrated what we had learnt by becoming Mosque Visitor guides.
I am so proud of how hard everyone worked. What a lovely way to learn more about the varied lives of people in our class, crew, school and community and to help us appreciate each other more.
We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to Ms Gent for coming in this afternoon to talk to us, we really appreciate you giving us your time.
Mrs Graves, Miss Farrow and Mr Schofield

We can collaborate!
4H have worked in small production teams to research the geographical and human features of Svalbard – an archipelago of islands at the heart of our current expedition. They will use this information to write a comparison between Svalbard and South Yorkshire.
Fabulous teamwork today folks, well done!
