We are breaking up for Easter today at 2pm. We are very excited about that! We have all worked our socks off this term and Mrs Tillson and Mrs Gurney are delighted with the progress our learning is making. Most of us have been completing our Bikeability qualification this week. It was a bit rainy, but we were determined to complete it and we had a great couple of days on our bikes with John and Alison, learning how to keep ourselves safe on the roads. In Literacy, we have been learning about the Easter Story for comprehension and continuing our vocabulary work on the Highwayman poem. Here is the short video we have been using to help our understanding: [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/i9BppIFTGvo?rel=0) We have been using 'magic squares' to work on our problem solving in maths this week and continuing our work on decimals. Stay safe over the holidays and we will carry on updating you when we get back. Dont forget that Monday 16th April is a training day! Happy Easter. Elm Class.
