On Friday we visited Aston Hall in Birmingham as part of our learning about fire this term. We explored the house and took part in a workshop all about the Great Fire of London. We dressed up as some of the important people from the story, including Thomas Farriner and Samuel Pepys. We also learnt to write with a quill, in the same way that Pepys would have written in his diary. We had a great time!
We would like you to practise forming numbers correctly at home. This means you need to think about making sure they are facing the right way and are formed carefully so that they can’t be mistaken for a different number. If you are writing 2 digit numbers you need to check that you have got the digits in the right order so that numbers like 12 don’t look like 21!
Here are some activities that you can download and do at home to help you practise.

We want to say well done to our Y5/6 netball team for their participation in the recent Corbet Netball Tournament.
A team of boys and girls did very well indeed, finishing just two points behind the eventual winners.
We are hoping to compete in several more sports competitions soon, including tag rugby and cross country!
Alison from the Dogs Trust, based at Roden, came to visit KS2 classes today. She taught the children many ideas about maintaining safety around dogs. Pupils in Wrekin, Stiperstones and Grinshill talked through scenarios and situations and found out how to interact with dogs in various places.

Students have been voting for their student council representative, results will be out next week!
Today we have been making the frames for the houses that we are going to use to make a replica London street from 1666. We measured the wood and then cut it to the right lengths. We sanded the ends down and explored different ways to join the wood and make the best frames. Next week we will finish the houses ready to burn them down in our own Great Fire!
