Class 3 weekly update

English – This week we used our ideas and plans to write our own poems about sea creatures.  We used lots of adjectives, verbs and repeating phrases to make them more interesting.  All the children worked really hard on these and they sound fantastic – well done!  Alongside our Read, Write, Inc work we have have focusing on using adjectives in sentences and forming adjectives using the suffixes -ful and -less.

Maths – In maths this week we have been solving problems using related facts (e.g. 5 + 4 = 9 / 50 + 40 = 90) and finding bonds to 100 (tens).  The children have reviewed their knowledge of bonds to 10 to help them find bonds to 100.  They have been using the tens frames to support their working out and solved a range of problems by adding tens up to 100.

The children have also carried out assessments in reading, writing and maths this week.  They have all tried really hard with these.

RE – We continued to look at examples of how we can look after our world and worked together to design a poster to display this information.  The children discussed lots of ideas about how they can look after our world and had a good understanding of this.

Spellings – To be tested on Thursday 25th October

Class 2 Weekly Update 12.10.18

It has been all smiles in Class 2 this week!
In English the children have continued to read our story books through our Read Write Inc scheme. Some of the children have also focused on non-fiction texts about animals that swim and have produced some excellent sentences about things that are factual. We have also used and practised the personal pronoun ‘I’ in our work and have looked in greater depth at using capital letters for names of people and places. Each child also had a focus on particular aspects of their handwriting which they needed to show an improvement with in their work. The children did this brilliantly.
The children have had problem solving lessons in maths involving addition and partitioning numbers and relating this to number bonds within 20. The children have used lots of equipment in order to help and support them with their learning for addition. The children have now started writing complete number sentences for addition and have related them to number bonds within and to 10. In Class 2 we have started some rhymes to go with our number bonds to 10. Maybe the children can share a few with you at home!
The children have had a wonderful music lesson yet again with Mrs Tan playing their instruments to a song in complete unison. It was very easy on the ears this week and is coming together really well for them.
In other subjects the children have had the project of starting a 3D map of Antarctica from various materials. We are going to include animals on it next week when we investigate the ones which inhabit such a place and how they survive there. A very enjoyable afternoon was spent learning about the Northern Lights and why they occur as a natural phenomenon in that part of the world. We then did a step by step chalk drawing in an art lesson.
The new spelling list is in their books. The children have done wonderfully well yet again with learning them this week.
Have a lovely time together over the weekend and see you Monday!

Class 5 weekly update

Well done to everyone in class 5 this week, it has been a bit topsy-turvy with the bikeability course as pupils have been in and out of class depending on their group. But everyone has worked really hard and we have achieved plenty, both in the classroom and on the bikeability programme.

In English this week we have looked at the features of formal reports with an aspiration that we will write our own next week using notes we have made on the investigation that two characters are carrying out in our class book. The children have worked really hard to identify the chronological order of the investigation and to recount all of the key details so that they can take their knowledge into their extended piece of writing .

Our main focus in Maths this week has been using the inverse operation. This is a tricky concept as sometimes problems have to be looked at from a completely different angle. However the children have really put a lot of effort into understanding the topic in depth and have used it to flip problems round in order to solve them, to make choices about what operation and method they need to use through detailed mathematical thinking and they have grown in confidence enormously over the past week. The children completed their third arithmetic test of this term earlier this week and we are so pleased with how everybody is showing progress, this is down to their hard work and the way they apply themselves in Maths so well done class 5!

Have a brilliant weekend, see you Monday.

Mr Sudlow.

Class 6 update

English

This week the children began making notes from Journey to the River Sea about the evidence Trapwood and Low have gathered so far.  Trapwood and Low are two characters from the story who are trying to trace a missing relative of a rich aristocrat.  The children will be using these notes next week to write a formal report.

Maths

The children have worked on being able to identify factors (a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number), multiples (a number that may be divided by another a certain number of times without a remainder) and prime numbers (a number that is divisible only by itself and 1).  Their times table knowledge is essential for this work so we encourage them to practise their times tables if there are any that they are unsure about.

Science

The concept of thermal conductors and insulators was introduced and the children began to plan an investigation to see if different materials affected the rate at which a liquid cooled down.

Geography

The children continued their labelled diagrams showing a river’s journey from it’s source to the sea.  They also added more detail to their written work on how rivers are formed.
