The children have also designed their own chocolate bar or sweet for Willy Wonka with the intention of creating an advert for it at a later date.

The Year 2’s have been completing a variety of problems and reasoning activities and the Year 3’s have been continuing to develop their understanding of the column method for multiplication.

A surprise visitor in Class 2!

This morning the children came back from Worship and found our classroom in such a mess! After a lot of detective work and thinking it might have been a crocodile, dragon or an owl, the children decided it must have been the monster from our new class story, ‘Not Now, Bernard!’ We then listened to the story and acted it out in small groups.

Class 4 Weekly Update 25.05.18

English

This week the children have studied different aspects of grammar including active, passive and modal verbs. They have also worked hard to complete their half-termly reading and writing assessments.

Maths

As well as completing their maths assessments, children have practised measuring angles and using what they have learnt to solve problems involving angles. Some children have also looked at the properties of quadrilaterals and other 2d shapes.

In RE, we have continued our work on Pentecost. We have looked at the symbols of the Holy Spirit: wind, fire dove and water.

Art

Class 4 have done some beautiful artwork of Greek gods and goddesses using chalk pastels which we hope to get up on display when we return to school after the break.

History

Earlier this week, we investigated Ancient Greek clothing.

Well done Class 4 children for your hard work this week.

Homework: The children have been given two pieces of homework to complete over the holidays. Maths homework is placing numbers on a number line and identifying one more and one less than a given number. English is a story starter, “We were walking in the woods, when we heard a…” I’ve asked the children to write an exciting story to go with this starter, remembering to use punctuation, adjectives, conjunctions (and, but and because) and to remember to use their beautiful handwriting. If your child would like to write more than the given lines, then additional paper can be added to their homework. Homework is due in Friday 8th June 2018.
