Friday 27th September

Happy Friday!

It's the end of another full week and the children have really upped their spelling game!

This week, we have enjoyed exploring our English text Here we Are by Oliver Jeffers, exploring noun phrases and relative clauses.  In Maths, we have focused on Place Value, for the year 4s number lines up to 10,000 and for the year 5s, we have explored numbers to 1,000,000, both on number lines and comparisons of their respective size. In fluency, we have thought about number facts that we know and what else we know because we know that fact.
In Science, we looked at what happens when you pour oil into water and the effect washing up liquid has on this. learnt what a formulation is and in History we have continued our topic on the Benin Kingdom.
We have also been incredibly active in our P.E. sessions, fitness and teamwork on Tuesday and Football on Friday.

The spelling results in this weeks test were superb, most of the children scoring between 80 and 100%. Keep that home learning going! 

An upcoming event for the year 5s is Bikeability (cycling proficiency). This will take place during the week beginning Monday 11th November. The letter will come out next week but the consent form for this is available through the link below. If you wish your child to take part (it's free of charge and teaches them a valuable life skill) you will need to complete the consent form by 1st November at the latest.

Next week, we will start a new English text, you'll have to wait and see what it is... We will continue working on Place Value in Maths, explore the society of the Benin Kingdom in History and investigate Separating mixtures in Science. 

P.E. will continue to be on Tuesday and Friday for this half term so please send the children in with their kits on these days. 

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.

Have a great weekend everybody, see you on Monday.
