Class 4 homework

Apologies for the confusion of homework set this week…the homework that was set before half term is due in tomorrow please. Many have handed this in already, thank you. The play script homework that was set on Monday is due in next Wednesday (March 7th). If there are any questions about this or you need a copy please ask me. In future, homework will be set on a Friday and due in the following Wednesday as usual.

I also asked the children if they have a copy of their favourite book at home if they could bring it in tomorrow please for World Book Day. Please don’t worry if they don’t have one.

Many thanks, Mrs Thomas

Dear Parents/Carers,

Changes to Clubs

In response to parents’ requests, we are starting a Homework Club next Monday for Key Stage 2 children; this will run instead of Science Club. At Homework Club, children will be able to complete any homework set by their class teacher, as well as read with an adult or carry out revision or research linked to what they have been doing in class.

We are currently monitoring attendance at all clubs and we will reduce the clubs that are provided, if we find that some are no longer viable.

Year 6 SATs Booster

Year 6 SATs Booster will run every Monday from 26^th February from 3:15 to 4:30 and we hope that all Year 6 children will be able to attend. A parent meeting will be arranged before Easter, to provide information on the SATs which take place in May.

World Book Day – Reminder

As in previous years, we are taking part in World Book Day next week on Thursday 1st March. Children can come to school dressed up as a book character of their choice and there will be a prize for each class, including Nursery, for the best costume. We can’t wait to see who or what the children dress up as!

We hope you have had a good half-term and we look forward to seeing all the children again on Monday 26th.

Class 2 Weekly Update

English: In English this week we have been planning our own story based on ‘Beegu’. The children planned their story using story mountains and answering questions about their characters and the setting. They have written a draft version of their story, edited to improve it further and today have written their story in best – with some children earning a ‘pen licence’ and writing their story with a handwriting pen!

Maths: We have moved onto Place Value this week. The children have been learning to represent numbers in a range of different ways using base 10, ten frames and numicon. For example the number 32 can be represented as 3 tens and 2 ones.

Science: The children were experimenting with materials this week in Science. We met Ted who got wet at break time because he didn’t have an umbrella. The children made predictions, guessing which material would be best for an umbrella, then it was their job to test lots of materials to decide which would be best to make Ted his own umbrella.

Geography: In Geography, the children were given a picture of a jungle scene. We discussed what we could see and imagined what it would be like if we were stood in the middle of the jungle. The children used their senses and have written a lovely piece, describing their surroundings.

RE: The children have written their own prayers, inspired by everything they are thankful for.

Art: We looked at lots of natural objects on Tuesday e.g. shells, sticks, conkers, pine cones, etc. We then drew these in detailed sketches with a pencil.

Spellings: To be tested on Friday 2nd March 2018.

Spellings 16.2.18

Homework: The children are coming home with a piece of English homework – using ‘and’ to join two simple sentences and a piece of Maths homework – Counting in tens. This is due back on Friday 2nd March 2018.

English Maths

Have a great half term!
