Class 4 weekly update

English – We read the Greek myth ‘Pandora’s Box’, which is linked to the characters in our class novel.  The class were introduced to a fancy looking box and discussed if they would be tempted to open it like the character in the story.  The also talked about what might be inside.  They then looked at features of an email and planned, drafted, edited and published their own email explaining an apology from Pandora.

Maths – We have been continuing with work on coordinates this week.  Year 4’s have been focusing on moving points on a grid and describing the movement (left/right, up/down).  Year 5’s have been focusing on translation (movement) on a grid and translation with coordinates.

Topic – Comparing government in Ancient Athens compared to government in modern Britain.  Many of the children were able to discuss what happens in today’s government which was interesting to hear.

Spellings – To be tested on Friday 6th July.

Class 2 Weekly Update

English: The children have been learning to spell common exception words (words spelt differently to how they sound) and use these in their writing. They have also learned about compound words (two words joined together) and included these in their independent writing. The children have written a letter as Bernard from our story, to his mum or dad telling them how they feel. Today we have written a sequel to the story ‘Not Now, Bernard’. The children came up with some fantastic ideas for how Bernard could escape from the monster!

Maths: We have continued with telling the time this week and practised more reasoning and problem solving questions.

History: The children were comparing seaside holidays in the past to seaside holidays now e.g. travel, activities, swim wear, etc.

RE: We were introduced to the creation story in different religions this week. The children then had to discuss their feelings about the creation story.
