Class 5 weekly update 21.9.18

Well done to everyone in class 5 for an amazing week.

The pupils have worked hard on diary entries in English identifying the key features of this particular genre of writing, whilst also identifying the emotions the main character has experienced during chapter three. We have discussed the key events of the chapter as we have read through, highlighting how those events would make the character feel. We have also focused on using alternative words as a synonym, helping the pupils to make their writing more exciting by replacing less interesting adjectives with engaging description words.

In Maths we have worked on place value moving onto using six digit numbers and the pupils have progressed immensely throughout the week. The homework this week is an extension of the problem solving and reasoning activities we have been exploring in class. Some pupils may have already looked at the first part of the homework in class as we have made great strides in our topic today, if this is the case please don’t feel like they have to complete those questions again, just carry on from wherever they got to during today’s lesson. The homework is due in on Wednesday so if the pupils have any questions regarding the task, I can answer those at the beginning of next week before the hand in date.

Have a good weekend everyone, see you all on Monday.

Mr Sudlow.

Class 3 weekly update

English – We have been identifying nouns in sentences and writing expanded noun phrases to add more description to the noun.  The children have thought very carefully about their sentence work and using lots of detail.  We have also been looking at our spellings focus for the week (words starting with ‘wr’) and using these in our own sentences.

Maths – This week we have been comparing/ordering sets of objects and numbers.  We have been using the symbols more than, less than and equals to compare numbers.  The children have been using a range of concrete and pictorial representations of numbers and objects to help them prove and check their answers.

Science – We have been discussing the importance for humans to eat the right amount of different types of foods.  We used a food pyramid to sort a selection of food into the following groups: fruit and vegetables, carbohydrates, sweets and oils, meat and fish and dairy.

Spellings – To be tested on Friday 28th September

Maths

This week we have continued to explore the threeness of 3.  The children have compared 1,2 and 3.  Matched amounts to the correct numeral, used comparative language to compare e.g. – ‘bigger than’, and ‘biggest’, ‘smaller’ etc.    We have encouraged the children to use language – ‘two is bigger than one’, ‘three is the biggest’, ‘one is first’. ‘two is second’, ‘three is third’.

The children have found different ways to make 3 and prove it is three, they have used language such as ‘I know it is 3 because there are 2 on top and another one underneath, 2 and 1 is 3.’   We have explored how it doesn’t matter if we move the objects around there still will be 3.

Phonics

This week we have revised all the sounds covered so far – m a s d t and looked at i this week.

When we write ‘i’ we say down the insects body and a dot for his head.  Here is a revision sheet – i

The children have enjoyed finding the sounds hidden around the classroom and having a go at writing them.

We have played word time games – making CVC from the sounds covered so far e.g. sat, sit, sad, Sam, Sid, mad, mat, dad, did, dot, etc.

Class 5 weekly update

This week class 5 have worked extremely hard and everyone has continued to settle in well.

English

This week we have been looking at journal entries. We have read chapter two of our class novel ‘Journey to the River Sea’ and the children have enjoyed this immensely. We have looked at the key features of a journal entry before recording the important events that occurred during the main character’s voyage over to Brazil. The children have then written their own journal entries from the perspective of the main character using their notes to guide them and this writing task has enthused everyone resulting in high quality work. Next week we will be continuing to read through the book with our focus moving to diary entries.

Maths

This week we have completed our first arithmetic test of the term and we have gone through the paper as a class focusing on the different areas that the children identified as wanting some extra help. We then moved onto rounding which the children have worked extremely hard at and over the course of the week everyone has made really good progress. Next week we are moving onto looking at numbers up to 100,000.

The homework for this week is Maths and it is just some extra practice rounding numbers to either the nearest 10, 100 or 1000. The homework is due in on Wednesday.

Our PE session will be back to Tuesday afternoon next week so if the children could have their kit in school that would be fantastic.

Mr Sudlow.
