Friday 24th January

Happy Friday!

This week has been a week of Windrush, Murder and creating shades.

This week, we have been working on our English text Granny Came Here on the Windrush. We have explored what the Windrush generation is and have written in role as a passenger on the HMT Empire Windrush - thinking about why we are travelling to Britain.
Maths has seen us working on multiplying 4 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers, solving problems and using related multiplication and division facts.
In Science we explored magnets and their origins, investigating repulsion and attraction.
History saw us thinking about who was responsible for the death of Thomas Becket.
Miss Brooking has explored Music, Repeating patterns in Computing, French and mixing shades of colour in Art.
On Thursday, the year 5s really enjoyed their second swimming session, whilst the year 4s explored multiplication through loop games with Miss Penny.
Finally, P.E has seen us developing our Hockey skills, we have worked on passing and intercepting this week.

Next week, sees us continuing to read and write, using our text Granny Came Here on the Windrush as inspiration. We continue to explore Multiplication and Division in Maths and will explore Magnetism and forces in Science. We'll also continue work on Medieval Monarchs in History and work on our Hockey skills in P.E, moving more into game situations next week. 

P.E. will be on Friday for this half term,  so please send the children in with their kits on on Fridays. 
Finally, the children will come home with their homework books today. In these there are spellings for this week, Maths questions based on what we have been doing in class and a topic homework with a choice of activities. Please could the book come back in on Thursday next week for marking and so that the children can add next week's home learning.  Topic home learning is due in on Thursday 13th February.


Have a great weekend everybody, see you on Monday.
