Extra SATs Booster

Due to several Year 6 children taking part in the Sportshall Athletics at The Corbet on Monday after school, we are running an extra SATs Booster next week on Tuesday from 3:15 – 4:30. This is so that the children who are taking part in the Corbet event do not miss out. Children who come to SATs Booster on Monday are also welcome to attend on Tuesday, if they wish, but this is entirely optional. The only thing we ask is that Year 6s attend at least one Booster session next week.

Thank to the Year 6s for agreeing to take part in the Sportshall athletics at the last minute – we are very grateful!

Class 2 Weekly update

English

This week we have discussed the importance of an introduction to stories and recounts and how they make the reader want to carry on reading. The children have practised writing their own introductions to a recount about a time they wish to share. We also recapped on the use of conjunctions to extend sentences.

Maths

Year 1: Recognising number bonds to 8 and 9 and learning how to double numbers.

Year 2: Using number facts to add and subtract and adding a single digit number to a two digit number, using 100 squares and number lines.

Phonics

Year 1: Exploring alternative pronunciation of the ‘i’ grapheme e.g. tin and mild, alternative pronunciation of the ‘o’ grapheme e.g. hot and don’t and alternative pronunciation of the ‘g’ grapheme e.g. gap and germ.

Year 2: Exploring words ending in ‘tion’ e.g. action and looking at words ending in ‘le’ e.g. kettle.

Science

The children investigated objects around the classroom that needed to be pushed or pulled to make them move. They then drew their findings and labelled and described them.

History

The children were shown two types of castles this week – motte and bailey castles made from wood and keep and bailey castles made from stone. They looked at the differences and discussed which would be easier to build and which would be easier to defend.

Spellings

Spellings to be tested Friday 27th January 2017.

Hunchback of Notre Dame Performance

Earlier this week, a professional theatre group visited school to perform the Hunchback of Notre Dame for the whole school. The children really enjoyed the show and immersed themselves fully in “It’s behind you!”, “Oh no he isn’t!” and also a lot of booing and applause! Well done to all the children for being such a fantastic audience.

Class 3 Weekly Update

It’s been another great week in Class 3…

English: The children have enjoyed continuing to read some Roman Myths. We have done some role-play based on these and some grammar and spelling work – revising how to correctly punctuate speech and revision of adding the suffix ‘ly’ to adjectives to make adverbs.

Maths: We have moved onto shape this week. We have been learning about right angles and lines of symmetry as a way of describing a wide variety of shapes. The children have been learning how to spot these, particularly within shapes they are unfamiliar with.

Science: The children have been investigating different types of rocks this week. We have carried out some investigations to test the hardness of rocks and to find out if a rock is permeable.

RE: We have been learning about the Holy Trinity this week. The children have been looking at how Christians describe God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Computing: The children have enjoyed investigating the computer program ‘Scratch’ this week.

PSHE: We have discussed being different and how this can sometimes make us feel. We then discussed various different emotions that we feel at different times. All Class 3 staff were very proud of how open the children were and how sensitive they were towards each other.

Well done Class 3! Have a lovely weekend!
