Class 4 Update

Mrs Conde and I have had a great first couple of weeks with Class 4.

We have been reading Charlotte’s Web together and the children have produced letters to Mr Avery asking him to save Wilbur and also information texts all about how to care for pigs.

In maths we have been working on the place value of 4 digit numbers.

In Science we have looked at different kinds of electrical devices and made posters about electrical safety.

The children worked together to make a timeline for the classroom showing when the stone age was. They have begun to look at cave paintings in Art and made archaeological digs out of a variety of materials for their classmates to excavate!

We are looking forward to another busy and exciting week!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs S Foster

Class 2 Weekly Update

English – In English this week we have been focusing on the sounds s, d, igh and ow. We have continued to learn about the importance of capital letters and full stops in sentences and the children finished the week having a go at writing independently after watching a short video called ‘bubbles’.

Maths – We have continued place value and number recognition this week. The children have represented numbers in a range of different ways and had a go at their first arithmetic test. I was very impressed!

Science – The children made posters about different weathers in Science. They were put into partners and worked together to discuss the clothes they’d wear, activities they would do depending on the weather and how it would make them feel.

History – In History, we shared our findings from talking to older people at home and lots of children enjoyed talking about what they had found out. We then looked at lots of old toys and picked our favourite ones to draw and write descriptive sentences.

Art – Today we enjoyed looking at the artist Piet Mondrian. We then re created a piece of his art and made our own collages using the primary colours red, yellow and blue.

Spellings – Well done to all of the children for completing their first spelling test today and thank you for supporting the children with learning these. You can see their test in the back of their spelling book. New spellings to learn for next Friday are stuck in at the front of their books.

Spellings 15.9.17

Homework – The children have been given a piece of homework today on capital letters to link to our work in class. If they could complete and return this by Friday 22nd September please. On the back of their sheet is an additional piece on full stops. Please start with the capital letters and if you feel your child needs an additional challenge they can complete the work on full stops. Please feel free to write notes on the homework to allow me to see how much support your child needed in completing this.

Have a great weekend!

Class 3 Weekly Update

English: This week we have been learning about how to add detail and description in our sentences. The Year 2’s have been learning about expanded noun phrases. They have been thinking of some exciting adjectives and have been learning how to use more than on in a sentence and how to separate them with commas. They Year 3’s have been focusing on adverbs this week. They have spent some time learning how to spot them in a sentence as well as having a go at writing their own sentences containing adverbs.

Maths: We have continued working on place value this week. The children have been learning how to identify the value of each digit within a number – Year 2’s have been working with 2 digit numbers and the Year 3’s have been working with 3 digit numbers. We have been looking at how numbers can be represented in lots of different ways through using equipment and through partitioning a number – e.g. 58 is 50 + 8.

Science: The children were introduced to our topic of ‘Everyday Materials’ this week. We spent some time looking at and identifying materials we already know. We were thinking of the ways these materials are used and why they may have been chosen for that specific purpose.

History: We went on a mini expedition around the school grounds to try to understand what it is like to be an explorer! We had to use a map to help us locate the different locations. We then found out about different explorers throughout history and some of the places where they went on expeditions.

RE: We had our first lesson on Islam this week. The children have watched a video of a Muslim child explaining what it’s like to be a Muslim and what her life is like. We then talked about all the questions we would like to find the answers to relating to Islam.

Music: The children began their ocarina lessons this week.

Computing: We spent some time working on Microsoft Word, learning how to change the style, colour and size of our font.

PE: The children have continued their dance and games lessons this week.

Please see other posts above regarding homework and a walk around Bicton Village next week as part of our science work.
