Class 5 update

English

This week Class 5 have worked on letter writing. They have written letters from William to his Mother based on their reading in ‘Goodnight Mister Tom’ so far, focussing on writing in first person in an informal style.

Maths

Year 5 have continued with their work on decimals this week. In particular they have worked on subtraction of decimals and decimal number sequences.

Year 6 have been applying their knowledge of calculation methods to a range of problems that have involved addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Science

The children explored activities using mirrors and other shiny surfaces that reflect light. Some children began to explore the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection.

History

This week the children started to learn about the Home Front and in particular, the Dig for Victory campaign. The children have begun to design their own posters aimed at persuading people to grow their own fruit and vegetables during the war.

Class 3 Homework – Due in Monday 11th June

Apologies – in the mad rush at the end of the day I have forgotten to give out the homework! I will give it to the children on the first Monday back and the children can hand it in on Monday 11th June instead alternatively, year 3 parents, feel free to print the homework below.

Year 2 – The Year 2 children have been asked to complete pages 18 and 19 from their SATS Booster Reasoning Maths Book. I realise SATS are now over but there are still some valuable activities for the children to complete in order to help reinforce work we are doing in class.

Bean plants homework project

Class 1 children were all excited to take home their bean stalks. Over the last few weeks the children have carefully monitored the growth and compared whose has grown the tallest / most each day. They were also very good at making sure they all got watered.

We would like you and your child to keep a record of their bean and how well it continues to grow. I look forward to seeing updates on Tapestry.

It seems a long time ago since we planted them!

Class 3 Weekly Update

English: This week the children have created a new character for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They came up with a new child who had won a ticket and then wrote a story about their visit to the factory and what happened to them. We have also spent some time looking at the poems/songs the oompa loompa’s sing about the different children and then had a go at writing our own about our new character.

Maths: We have been focusing on multiplication this week. The Year 2 children have been revising multiplication as repeated addition and have been matching images to multiplication number sentences. The Year 3 children have been multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We have done this with images in a place value grid and have been learning the column method for doing this.

Science: We have been describing the properties of different rocks this week and have been identifying their uses.

History: The children have been learning about what life was like for a Roman Soldier and have written a diary entry as though they are a Soldier.

PE: We have begun practising for sports day this week!

RE: The children have concluded their work on ‘What do Christians believe about God?’ bringing together all their ideas from previous sessions.

After half term our PE days will change to a Thursday and Friday.

Year 2 children will have games on a Thursday and tennis on a Friday.

Year 3 children will have swimming on a Thursday and tennis on a Friday.

Thank you for your continued support this half term, I hope you all have a lovely break!

Writing about our school trip

I am so impressed with Class 2 today! The children were challenged to write independently about our class trip to the Ice Cream Farm and they have written some brilliant recounts! I was so proud of them, I asked Mrs Johnson to come and see their work and she gave the class a certificate.

Well done Class 2, keep up the hard work!
