Dear Parents/Carers,

Your child has come home today with a short poem relating to one of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory characters. They have been asked to try their best to learn the poem for celebration assembly – this will be their homework for this week. Any support you can give them to help them learn their poem would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your continued to support,

Class 2 Weekly update

English: This week we have started to recap on how to write commands and linked it to the book ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’, which the children have loved reading! We have had a go at writing instructions on how to catch a bear – and rehearsed something exciting to present to you during the Celebration Assembly next week.

Maths: Our focus in Maths this week has been position and direction, we started by looking at the compass points and discussing how to identify our left and right. We have then been using positional language e.g. above, below, in between, etc to describe where an object is.

Science: This week we looked at a range of different objects e.g. spoons, bottles, etc and discussed what materials they could be made out of, such as a spoon could be made out of metal, plastic and wood.

The children have come home with some lovely Mother’s Day cards they have created so please check their book bags!

There is also a reminder letter about our trip to Chirk Castle on Monday that the children are very excited about!

Spellings: Spellings to be tested Friday 31st March 2017.

Class 3 Weekly Update

English: We have continued our work on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this week. The children have read some of the poems/songs the Oompa Loompa’s sing about each child and then they worked in small groups to plan and write their own – they were fantastic and you may get to see a snippet of them in Celebration Assembly! We ended the week with a debate about who we think the worst behaved child is and why, using evidence from the book to support our reasons.

Maths: We have been learning how to find the perimeter of different shapes this week which has helped us practise our measuring and addition skills as well as reminding us of the properties of shapes. We have also been practising adding amounts of money – both pounds and pence.

History: This week we have done some more role-play – acting as Celts and Romans imagining what it was like when the Romans invaded Britain. We then used our role-plays to help us write a diary entry as a Celt describing what happened and how we felt about the invasion.

Art: We have been making some cards this week.

We have also begun our Celebration Assembly preparations – all the children are excited to present what they have been learning to you. We hope to see you there next Friday! Have a lovely weekend!

3D shape

The children have been exploring shapes today. They have been finding out which shapes roll, stack and do both. They have explored which shapes are the best to build with. They have used the clixi to make 3D shapes. Earlier a group of children built a really tall tower using duplo, they had to ask me to help because it got so tall!

Class 4 Update

This week in English, the children wrote about the main character of our class novel ‘After Tomorrow.’ We then went on to to pick out the main themes of the novel, showing them in freeze frames and finding evidence of them in the book. The children will be using these ideas in their writing next week.

In maths we have been learning about how to find the perimeter, area and volume of shapes. We are now going over work on place value and practising multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.

In science the children have looked at what happens when different materials are mixed with water. This week they had to work out how to separate 4 different mixtures using sieving, filtering, heat and magnets.

In DT we are starting to look at purses and wallets and have practised our sewing skills this afternoon, ready to design and make our own purses or wallets in the coming weeks.

Finally in history the children have continued to look at Viking trade and consider what items would have been most valuable to trade with.

Class 3 Weekly Update

It’s been another hard working week in Class 3!

English: We have continued our work on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the children doing some role play as the children who won the tickets. We have read the part in the story where the children go into the Chocolate Room and have imagined what it was like, role playing our emotions and then writing a detailed description.

Maths: We have continued our measurement work this week and have been measuring how tall we are using metres and cm and converting between the two. We have also been doing some money work, learning about place value within money and comparing different amounts.

History: This week we went into the hall with our Roman Shields and pretended to be Roman Soldiers. We learned about the different formations the Roman Army used and talked about why these were effective. The children had great fun re-creating these formations in small groups.

Computing: The children have used all they have learned the past few weeks to create a poster with both text and images in publisher.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
