​This Week In School…
Year 3 – have had another busy week. In Maths, they have started learning about money of different denominations. They have been learning to add and give change. In English they have been writing character and setting descriptions using 'show not tell' sentences. During their art lessons they have been exploring 'Art through storytelling'. They have been exploring cave paintings and The Bayeux Tapestry as forms of storytelling through the ages. In PE, they have been developing their tennis skills.
Year 4 – have been working hard in Maths, comparing, ordering decimals and rounding to the nearest whole. In English, they have finished writing their fact file about Italy and have published an amazing final piece. In Science, they have been investigating and explaining how a habitat provides what a plant needs to survive. In Art, year 4 had fun being photographers for the afternoon, taking pictures of environmental art and finding different textures. In French, the children have been learning how to say different classroom objects in French.
Year 5 – have begun writing an information text on rainforests. They have managed to incorporate many success criteria and information. The children have also been working really hard at honing their mathematical skills on angles. They have been classifying, estimating and measuring angles. In Science, they have learnt about asexual reproduction in plants and in Humanities they delved further into Asia learning about its weather and climate.  The teachers were also impressed by their sensible contributions to PSHE where they learnt about age limits and responsibilities.  In Art, the children explored Chinese artwork and created their own Chinese artworks which were remarkable! It has been a fun week in Year 5!
Year 6 – have been starting to write a narrative re-telling the story of 'The Lighthouse', a short film about a lighthouse keeper and the problems he faces on a stormy night.  They are particularly focusing on setting and character descriptions and we have been very impressed with the writing we have seen so far.  In Maths the children have started their new Geometry topic and are looking at angles.  They are continuing their topic on electricity in Science and have been making circuits and checking how to make bulbs brighter or dimmer.
