Happy Friday!
What a week, Adaptations, Decimal numbers and Dragon eyes! This week, we have started our new unit on decimal numbers in Maths and have been working on our text Weslandia in English. We worked on our Agility in our indoor P.E. session and our Fielding skills in outdoor P.E. through rounders. We continued our Adaptation work in Science and in History, we studied the Vikings. We have also undertaken some fantastic artwork in Art, this week, we designed our own Dragon eyes, using animal eyes as inspiration for our designs. I was very impressed with the results and next week, we will begin work on our larger scale, oil pastel piece. Next week, we continue our work on Vikings in History, Dragon eyes in art, we are doing some work around Growth, or Positive Mindset in PSHE and will continue our work in R.E. on Pentecost. We also have a very creative Music topic based around imagery and poetry, which the children have been enjoying with Miss Penny. In terms of home learning, can I remind everybody that the expectation is that children read for at least 10 minutes at home everyday, this can be magazines, newspapers, manuals, cookery books, as well as their reading books, as it is all reading. I would also like children to spend time working on their times tables, which are vital in so many areas of the Maths curriculum, I have set them 25 minutes worth of TTRS time as home learning. This can be done as a block, or it can be spread across the week, so that the children do 5 minutes a day. I have been really pleased to give out lots of Dojo points to people who have been completing their time! I recommended some apps and websites to help with Maths as the Year 4s have a Multiplication Tables Check to do in June: One Minute Maths by White Rose Maths Ten Minute Tables by Dorling Kindersley URBrainy.comMTC for a practise version of the check. White Rose Maths Parent booklets which you can reach through the Maths page of our school website or here: https://whiteroseeducation.com/parent-pupil-resources/maths/free-downloads Spellings will be out on Monday for the test on Friday. There will be a new TTRS sheet on Monday, some great scores this week in our Soundcheck, so keep practising. With this in mind, try watching the following on Youtube to help learn those vital tables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p16Szjg59Sg&t=3s Please see Dojo for photographs as I am having technical issues transferring them at the moment! Wider Curriculum Home Learning is out in paper form and is also available here and on Dojo, I have already received some great examples, including Viking long boats and a design for Sports Day. Have a great long weekend, see you on Tuesday. Mr F Comments are closed.
