Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we have researched further into Roman Britain as well as modern day Italy. The children have really applied themselves to their learning, researching Roman gods and finding out more about Boudicca.

We have also continued with our Maths topics of addition and subtraction, using money and using decimals, as well as reading scales and filling in missing numbers.

We had a visit from our Class Governor this week. Mr White showed the children his robes and wig which he wears in court – the children were fascinated and took the opportunity to ask lots of interesting questions!

Could you please ensure that your child brings in their reading diary and PE kit on Fridays.

As always, if you have any questions, drop in to see either of us or email us on esmitheram@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk or sburns@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk .

Thank you.

Mrs Smitheram and Mrs Burns.
