Dear All,
Well done to Year 5 who finished their Swimming Course last week. We were all so impressed by their hard work and determination during the course and they all did so well!
Well done also to Class 1/2VS who did such an informative class assembly on Spain!
This week is very busy one in the Juniors. All week they are taking part in a Gamelan Project which is being led by Upbeat Music and Arts. They will also be making shadow puppets and headdresses, ready for their performance on Friday afternoon. (Gamalan music originates from Bali and Java, in Indonesia.)
Classes 4/5B, 5/6P and 5/6W also took part in special Space Workshops today run by staff from Techniquest. They were finding out more about Tim Peake’s technical work.
(We are following @astro_timpeake on Twitter and you can see some film he posted. If you look at our website, www.stwoolosprimary.org, you will also be able to see this.)
Milittlepad also worked with Classes 5/6W and 5/6P today. They are using a device called Sphero which will help them to start basic computer coding.
It is Holocaust Memorial Day on Wednesday. In the morning, Mrs Couch and I will be taking the House Captains to Newport Cathedral for Newport’s annual Holocaust Memorial Service.
The Y2/3 Parent Literacy/Numeracy Course continues on Thursday from 9.15 to 11.15am. The children are enjoying joining you for their activities!
On Friday afternoon at 2.30pm, Junior children will be performing a small concert showcasing what they have learned this week in their Gamelan Workshop. Parents and grandparents are invited to attend this.
