of the pupils at Charing School to

commemorate WW1. The book is

Mrs Borthwick has decided to take retirement and will be leaving at Christmas. Mrs Borthwick has been working at the school since April 1996 and is currently the longest serving member of staff. We want to take this moment to thank her for all her hard work and time she has given to the school over the years and we wish her all the best

for the future and a happy retirement. She will be missed. Information about her collection will be announced shortly. The closing date to succeed her is next Friday.

This week at Charing CE Primary School

This week Rabbits Class have been learning about money. We have looked at different coins and their value. In YR, we had lots of practise playing shopping

games and in Y1 we have used different coins to find totals. In English this week, our story has been all about dinosaurs at school. Y1 have been using

question marks to write questions and YR have learnt some new sounds and are beginning to blend sounds for reading. We have also been busy this week

making dinosaur tails and masks, ready for dinosaur day this Friday. Please keep sending in small and medium cardboard boxes and tubes for our junk modelling box. We are getting quite low again!

Squirrels class Year 2 have been learning about money this week and have been practising making amounts using coins. In our topic learning, the children have completed writing, imagining they are an insect and describing their habitat. Next week in Art we will be creating our habitats; so if any parents could bring in any boxes,

toilet rolls etc that would be greatly appreciated.

This week, Foxes have been investigating how to find and compare fractions, along with continuing to work hard on learning

multiplication facts. English has seen the publication of some amazing newspaper reports based on events in our class book. We are

also starting to design our own Viking longboats to help Arthur travel to the land of the Norse Gods so that he can engage Thor's help to save his

village!!

Badgers have been busy writing an informal letter and being budding poets in

English this week. In Maths, we have practised our long multiplication and

division skills. We are enjoying learning about forces in Science and this week we

have learned about friction. In Topic, we have looked at the effects of flooding

and ways to prevent this. In RE, we have been looking at the book of Matthew

and identifying how Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Messiah. After all this

hard work, we are really looking forward to our pantomime trip next week!

This week in Owls, we have been continuing to look at fractions:

finding the common denominator; adding and subtracting. In

English, we have been looking at the use of colons and getting closer

to the end of Private Peaceful - what will happen to Tommo and

Charlie? In topic, we looked at the use of animals in World War 1.

Don’t forget the spelling test every Friday!
