English - This week, we are being introduced to our brand new unit of work, focusing on persuasive writing! We are using the book "One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the recycling women of the Gambia" to inspire us. This week we will focus on learning some persuasive devices such as rhetorical questions, emotive language and strong verbs.
Maths - We are continuing with our unit on "length and perimeter", focusing on rectilinear shapes this week.

At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
