Another Excellent Week

This week has been a busy one for Fern class. Students started the week with a visit to the Barking library where they chose books to take home and even shared their favourite books with their friends. They have built up their plans for a diary entry over the course of the week, and produced some fantastic work when they put their plans into action! In maths, the children have consolidated their multiplication and division learning, and have worked in pairs to solve word problems involving these skills. We had a visit from Canon Young, the priest at our local church, St Ethelburga's. He spoke to us about visitors, and the importance of Advent as a time of waiting in the lead up to Christmas. The week was rounded off with a visit from Pro Strike, a sports initiative that the children were very eager to participate in. They had three chances to kick a ball into a net that recorded the speed of their kick. They all had a fantastic time, and, together, St Joseph's raised over £1000! An incredible end to an incredible week!
