Class 4 spelling patterns

The spelling patterns we are learning in Class 4 this week are:

Year 3: long ‘ai’ sound, e.g. rain, container, brain, strain

Year 4: adding the prefix ‘im’ before root words starting with ‘m’ or ‘p’ e.g. immature, immortal, impolite, impatient

Sweet Sale

What’s in the box?

As part of our topic on Light, we used a feely box where we had to describe a mystery object in the box to illustrate the effect of darkness and how we need light to see objects. The descriptions given to describe each object were fantastic and we heard some excellent scientific vocabulary being used to describe everyday objects including: a glass jug, a cork coaster, a foam ball, a plastic vehicle and even a metal curtain tieback!

We definitely have some super scientists in Class 4 and we even started to talk about the pupils in our eyes and how they increase in size to let more light in. Well done Class 4!

Class 4 role play

Today in English, we read the part of our class novel, Seal Surfer, where the seal pup is nowhere to be seen. We role played what Grandfather and Tom would have felt looking out to sea and what they might have said to each other.

Class 1 – Week 1

Class 1 children have had a super first week of school. All the children have settled in really well and we are really proud of them all.

This week has been all about settling into daily Class 1 and school routines and making new friends.  The children were very excited on Wednesday to be put into School Houses and have the chance to meet older children in the same house.

Maths

This term Reception children will be concentrating on numbers 1 – 5 and Year One children on numbers up to 10. This week we looked at what 1 is – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjan6evga7g&list=PLsCbn8m6nYGYD9Ju5_ygJSUhaCRNGM8UT

Next Week:

Tuesday – Forest School Session 1 of 6  (Children to come to school ready)

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

 

Parent survey- correct email!

Many apologies but yesterday’s email about the parent survey should have asked if you could spare ‘a couple of minutes’ to complete it not ‘a couple of parents!’

We would be really grateful if you could complete the online survey below. The outcomes of the survey will support our staff and governors in our school improvement planning and we thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the survey.
