Class 5 Weekly Update

Well done this week everyone, it’s been a week full of challenges but you’ve risen to it really well and have made fantastic progress.

In English we’ve focused on play scripts, using a short chapter where two characters were discussing their friendship and school as our theme. The children have used a range of punctuation effectively to convey emotive adjectives, verbs and adverbs in their stage directions, as well as presenting their work in an appropriate fashion and we’ll be setting some time aside next week to see some performances of the scripts that the children have been working on.

In Maths our focus has been on multiplication. We started the week by looking at the grid method which the children mastered really well. Since then we have moved onto looking at other methods of multiplication including the column method. Being fluid between the different processes is really important as questions can be presented in a multitude of ways and achieving this fluidity takes a lot of flexibility in the children’s thinking, but the progress they have made has been great and as we move into next week we’ll be continuing with our focus on improving our fluidity between different methods and presentation styles.

Coach Neil will be in at the start of next week for our ‘Reading the Game’ session so PE kits with trainers on Monday would be great.

Have a fantastic weekend,

Mr Sudlow.

Class 3 weekly update

English – At the start of the week the children were planning their own story. They made notes on who the main character was, what they see / what they do in the story and how their story will end. They had lots of interesting ideas for their stories and we are looking forward to reading them next week.

In Read, write, inc the green group have been reading ‘In the bath’ and writing about what they like and dislike about having a bath. The yellow group have been reading ‘Jam tarts’ and writing their own shopping list. The rest of the class have been working well independently improving their use of sentence starters in their writing. They played a game in pairs to use a range of sentence openers, e.g. starting their sentences with a conjunction, noun, adjective, adverbs, feelings and similes. Then they wrote a short story including a range of exciting sentence starters and interesting vocabulary. They had lots of ideas first about their story and how they were going to link their ideas.

Maths – This week we have been focusing on multiplying numbers by 2, 5 and 10. Many of the children are now much more confident with these times tables from all their practise at home. They have been using equipment such as counters to make groups of 2, 5 and 10 and solving problems by making different groups of these multiples and showing all their working out using drawings and number sentences.

Science – This week the children joined in with a discussion about how we can ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’. They came up with lots of ideas about how we can do this to help our environment. They also designed posters to explain to others how they can follow this principle.

Spellings – To be tested on Friday 22nd March. 15.03.19

Please can children write at least 4 sentences in their spellings books each week using the spellings they have for that week.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Thomas and Miss Moran

Class 1 round up

Read Write inc

This week the children have looked at the digraph – ‘ou’, Shout it out.

They have continued to do word time activities looked to all the sounds covered so far. Some children have written sentences based on short Dittys that they have read as a group and some children have done sentence writing based on the Green Book story ‘The Spell’.

Literacy

As a class we are reading ‘Room on a Broom’, the children have enjoyed joining in with the story and spotting the rhyming words. The home corner has been turned into a potion making area. We will continue with this story next week and the children will focus on character descriptions and writing potion recipes.

Maths

This week the children have looked at ’10’. At the beginning of the week the children explored how 9 add 1 is 10. 10 ones are the same as one 10 / one 10 is the same as 10 ones.

We linked 10 to our class story and decided that the witch needed 10 ingredients to make a new broom. The children explored how many more ingredients the witch needed in her cauldron to make 10 –

‘she needs 5 more because 5 add 5 equals 10’ – Benji

‘we can also say double 5 makes 10’ – Theo

‘I know she needs need 4 more because 10 takeaway 6 leaves 4’ – Lorcan

‘She needs one more ingredient because she only has 9, 9 add 1 ,more equals 10’ – Holly

Class 2 Weekly Update 08/03/2019

The children have had another exciting week in Class 2. They have really enjoyed the story work done in their RWI groups and have also been focusing on fun phonics activities too. This week has also brought World Book Day which celebrated all of the wonderful characters and story books which have influenced and captivated our children’s imaginations. This was a day of the utmost priority in the children’s calendars and we were so delighted to see all of the wonderful costumes which they came in to celebrate that day. Their day focussed on the inspirational author Julia Donaldson who is famous for titles such as ‘The Gruffalo’ , ‘Room on a Broom’ and ‘Stick Man.’ The children started the day by both role playing and talking about their favourite books they brought in to show the class. They then learned about the author and had a variety of her stories read to them with interlinked activities throughout the day. These included making forever reader bookmarks, illustrated story maps, Gruffalo Crumble (baking), clay figure making, making potions and then finally eating their crumble. Story telling is big in our class and it was so lovely to hear the experiences the children have outside of school involving literature.
In Maths the children initially explored counting objects in 2’s (pairs) which then led them to comparing totals and looking at odd and even numbers. They then looked at the patterns of counting in 2’s to 50 and what that looked like on number grids and 100 squares. They ended the week doing the same for counting in 5’s and looked at how this might be shown on their own number lines which they then made with Numicon.
In RE the children have looked at what makes an excellent leader and explored leaders within the religion of Judaism. The story of Moses was a catalyst for great discussion
In PE the children really enjoyed their session with Embrace involving ball and invasion games.
A big congratulations to Paige who won class Star Trophy Award. Paige has made great impression on everybody with her willingness to help others, set a great example and also complete her work on time.
It was so nice to see you all on Wednesday for parent consultations. Thank you so very much for your continued support and remember I am always there with an open door if you wish to chat about anything concerning your child in the future.
I hope that you have a lovely weekend together and see you on Monday.

Mr Mavin
