This week we tasted Aztec, original chocolate drink and compared to more
familiar, sweetened chocolate drink. The children noticed the different
ingredients used and they were clear in their opinions and their preferences!
The history of chocolate was discussed too and the children continued with
their information pages ‘all about chocolate’ [ on the laptops, saved in their Google
drive folders].
Maths
We focused on Time and all associated elements including
months/days/weeks, digital times and telling the time in 5 minute intervals. Additional
practise available by following the links below.
Literacy
Earlier
in the week, we shared our Big Write stories
about ‘Love and Friendship’ with Year 1 Caterpillar. Both classes had
a great time exchanging stories and comparing their handwriting styles.
Speech
Marks – including using correct
punctuation within dialogue was part of our Literacy focus this week.
Other
Key
Stage Two Poetry Competition, all of the Year 3s
gave outstanding performances, with Barbara
and Patrick going through to the next
round. We wish them luck in the finals
which will happen after the break. Well done to everybody who learnt their
poems at home and gave a magnificent show!
Farsang – the children have
each made a Farsang mask. Photos for you to see on our google drive folder by

for their log in details.
We enjoyed
Hungarian dancing this morning, Early Years children made lots of noise around
the school to scare away the winter spirits, there was a special lunch and then
our Year 3 Farsang celebration. Thank you all who brought in snacks and
drinks for the party!
Orchestra - BISB was
fortunate enough to be treated to the wondrous music of a chamber orchestra on
Thursday morning. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the music which featured legends
such as Bach and Vivaldi. It was a treat
for not only the children, but for the staff also.
We hope you have a happy holiday.
