Class 4 weekly update

English: The children have completed assessments in english (writing and reading) this week. They have worked hard on these – well done!

Maths: They have been converting units of time (years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes) and looking at timetables. They have also completed a maths assessment.

DT/Art: They have been making Greek head dresses for the celebration assembly next week which look great! In DT they have been looking at Greek food and what they ate in Ancient Greek times. Next week the children will be tasting some Greek food and designing and making their own flatbread with a twist.

Science: They have been doing work on light and how it travels. The children had lots of interesting discussion about this.

There will be no spellings or homework for next week.

Please could all children keep practising the song and dance for celebration assembly next week. I have been really impressed by how quickly they have learnt all the lines by heart and they all sound wonderful! Thank you for all your hard work so far with this.

Please could you bring in Greek toga style costumes by Monday for the assembly. As mentioned in the letter a white sheet with something to tie around the waist will be perfect, or even a large white shirt/tshirt.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Thomas

Class 2 Weekly Update

English: We have been using contracted words in sentences and learning how to use expended noun phrases this week in English. The children have also been introduced to adverbs, they have added the suffix ‘ly’ to the end of an adjective and used these in exciting sentences.Today the children have written a newspaper report, reporting on Bernard’s disappearance from our story ‘Not Now, Bernard!’

Maths: We have recapped on addition subtraction this week and used our number bonds to 10 to find number bonds to 20.

Science: The children went for a walk in the woods on Tuesday to identify trees. They collected leaves and brought them back to classroom to make tree identification booklets.

History: In History, we looked at the seaside town St Ives, in Cornwall. The children found out lots of interesting facts about St Ives and made a poster to advertise it.

Celebration Assembly: We have been practising hard for our performance on Thursday! Please could the children in Class 2 wear summery clothes to school on Thursday morning to go with our topic ‘Seaside holidays in the past and present’. They can bring their uniforms with them to change into after the assembly.

Spellings:The children have had their last spelling test today! There are no new spellings to learn for next week.

Have a good weekend!

Class 3 Weekly Update

English: We have written a letter to Willy Wonka this week in character as Charlie Bucket saying thank you for our visit to the chocolate factory.

We have also done our history lesson through English where we learned about Boudicca and her rebellion against the Roman army. The children wrote some fantastic speeches in character as Boudicca trying to persuade her tribe to join her in fighting the Romans.

Maths: The children have been practising their subtraction skills this week and have moved onto solving missing number problems. The Year 2’s have been solving worded problems linked to this and have been introduced to the pictorial column method. The Year 3 children have been practising the column method when re-grouping is required.

Science: We carried out an investigation this week. We wanted to see if a shadow would change size when we moved the light source further away and how this would affect it.

Art: We are getting close to finishing our Roman helmets! We have painted everything and now they just need to be assembled!

Other highlights of this week include transition day and practising for celebration assembly.

Just to note, the children have not been set any spellings or homework this week. They have been given a copy of the song we are going to sing in celebration assembly to practise at home. We are using an oompa loompa backing track from youtube which can be found here – https://youtu.be/XfUxxQ11EWY

Year 6 SATs Results – Tuesday 10th July

There seems to have been some confusion over children receiving their SATs results on Tuesday. As many of the Year 6s are at The Corbet tomorrow, I very kindly offered to give them their results at the end of the day tomorrow rather than them wait until Wednesday. This is completely optional and children are welcome to wait until Wednesday morning.

Thank you.
