The children in Class Acutis have been hard at work this week. A highlight was Science, where the children tested a range of solid materials and discovered that the shape of a solid could be changed if a force is applied. We went back into our historical chest and after looking at photographs, newspaper reports and letters the children deduced more about Emily, the owner of the items. All children have login details for TTRS and the competition has begun - the knowledge of some children is impressive. Miss Kantharia has also been testing children for Bronze, Silver and Gold awards for times table knowledge.

Another fun week in Class Acutis. The children had great fun developing their new story plots. We all went outside and had a go sitting in the hotseat as our new main character. Mrs Lawman was Ronald the Owl! The children impressed the adults with their secure knowledge of place value and the practical equipment has proved to be very useful. In history, the class were amazed at the changes in the British Empire over the centuries and loved discovering items from the chest which we are very lucky to have on loan from Lancashire.

We have had a very busy week in Class Acutis. It was lovely to go to church and share Mass for the first time this school year. The children filled church with their beautiful singing. The children have continued to get used to the new systems and have now got reading books and logins to continue learning at home. We are getting deeper into our class novel and the children asked some super questions about the book, using a question matric to develop higher level ideas.

It has been a fantastic first full week in Class Acutis. The children have settled into the routines brilliantly and have been kind and considerate towards each other.
We have enjoyed finding out about Carlo Acutis and creating display work to reflect his personality and virtues. We have started our exciting new topics in History and Science and enjoyed apple pressing with Stanley Grange. Year 2 have enjoyed lots of practical work in maths to get to grips with tens and ones, meanwhile Year 3 and Year 4 are working with hundreds and thousands.
