This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been writing instructions about how to make the perfect den during English. They have been focusing on including adverbs, time prepositions and subordinating clauses. In Maths, they have been revising multiplication and division before learning about fractions next week. In Humanities, they have been creating posters about Stone Henge, including the different theories about why it was built! They have begun to look at Judaism in R.E. and have created a story board looking at the story of Abraham and Sarah. Year 4 – have been celebrating in English! Having written some extremely passionate and persuasive letters to Miss Digweed last half term regarding break times, they have been writing a setting description of their dream playground. Whilst the budget might not quite stretch to Olympic sized swimming pools, onsite coffee shops, rollercoasters or even unicorn playtime assistants, they have definitely let their creativity run wild. In Maths, they have continued studying time and looking at the units of time including, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, days and years. In Science, they have started looking at animal classification and sorting them using classification keys. In PSHE, they have also looked at water, rail and road safety. Year 5 – have been writing poems based on a video clip called Junk. The children have been given the opportunity to use any type of poetry style; rhyming or not rhyming. The children have been challenged to try and use some alliteration, a simile or a metaphor in their final piece. In Maths, they have identified regular and irregular polygons, used reasoning skills with 3d shapes, identified and plotted coordinates in the first quadrant and translated shapes on a grid. They have continued their science topic about living things and their habitats and watched a video about the research carried out by the scientist Jane Goodall. They have a very busy final half term and are looking forward to all the exciting things coming up! Year 6 – have been working extremely hard to produce some excellent writing linked to a short video clip called Glued. We have been really impressed by just how much progress they have shown they have made in their writing - well done Year 6! In Humanities, they have continued with our history topic about the Maya Civilisation and in Science, they have started the new topic about the circulatory system. This week, they were finally able to cast the upcoming Year 6 Production, Bugsy. The children who auditioned were fantastic and it made it extremely difficult for the Year 6 team to decide on the key roles. However, all of the children are involved in one way or another and everyone is confident they will produce a great show! Rehearsals will begin next week… Comments are closed.
