Our attendance for last week was 96%. This needs to improve!! We had 4 late marks.
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us for our class assembly this morning. We hope you enjoyed yourself and learnt something new. We loved sharing our learning with you.
In English, we we have written our newspaper reports about the wolf attack on Arthur's small Icelandic Village. We peer-assessed each others on the parts we liked and discussed how we could improve these. We are looking forward to typing these up next week!
In Maths, we started our new unit on multiplication and division. So far, we have recapped on the 3 and 4 times table. We have looked at making groups of 3 and 4 before dividing by this amount. We have also been developing our rapid recall in this area and Times Table Rockstars will help the children in this area.
In French, we have been busy learning the colours and how to say these properly. Next week we will continue with this and Elmer will become our focus.
In R.E, we started our new unit on Hinduism. We learnt about the different Hindu Gods and Goddesses. It was so interesting and we learnt so many different facts about each one.
We turned into Scientists in our most recent Science lesson. We investigated the different types of rock to see if they were permeable or not. We had great fun and had some fantastic discussions.
In Music, we have been using the drums with Mr White and are developing our understanding of rhythm and pitch.
In Reading, our text this week revolved around a riddle all about a witch and her love for the moon, we have been developing our dictionary and thesaurus skills through lots of clarifying sessions. We have also been using our skimming and scanning skills to locate answers to a range of comprehension questions.
Our Learning Hero assembly was awarded for displaying great resilience and reciprocity in his learning.
Our Championship Point winners were:
Our winning house was Honesty!
Key information:
Swimming is EVERY MONDAY. PLEASE ensure that your child's clothing is labelled and they are given a bag to carry this in. We have had lots of items go missing and this would help us greatly.
P.E is EVERY WEDNESDAY. Again please ensure a full kit is provided each week. This can remain in school and children can take it home at the end of term.
Home Learning is given out on Wednesdays/Thursdays. Children are expected to complete this by the following Monday. If this is not completed then they will be expected to attend home work club.
Reading books are changed as much as possible throughout the week. The more we read the better writers we will become so we encourage as much as possible but expect at least a book to be changed once a week.
Upcoming Events:
