Dear Parents and Carers,
Another week of learning and fun has come and gone a Balladen.
Throughout the school all classes have continued to try their best in each and everything they do and are working hard to improve in all areas. and from Reception to Year 6, all classes are smiling and learning.
In Reception the children have been learning about addition and subtraction and are really making progress with their learning in this area. In Year 1 many of the children have been learning about landmarks around the world. Some of the children have written about such landmarks as The Statue of Liberty and The Great Wall of China.
Year 2 have been working their way through their SATS and should be finishing them today. A very big 'Well done' to all of the children in Year 2 who have really taken the opportunity to show how amazing they are. Well done!
Year 3 have been learning about rotations in their Mathematics sessions as well as developing their knowledge of fractions and decimals. Year 4 have also been learning about fractions and writing introductions about Rawtenstall. Some of the children in Year 5 have created some amazing artwork based on Henri Rousseau and Year Six have really enjoyed the week after their SATS by beginning to create their leavers books.
Phew!
We have also had an incredible amount of sport going on at and around Balladen. On Monday our first team played against Helmshore in the semi-final and beat them 6-4. The boys played really well and we are looking forward to supporting them in the final. We have also participated in cricket, tri-golf and the annual cross country competition at Marl Pits. One of our boys has been selected to run for Rossendale!
Have a wonderful weekend. I look forward to seeing all of those Monday smiles!
With respect,
Mr Neil Ringrose
