Friday 4th April

Happy Friday!

This week has been a week of electrical circuits, water cycles and Catching Speeders!

 This week, we have been completing work on our English text The Day the Crayons Quit. We have used the text to invent our own story, based on personification, persuasion and humour. The children have written well, with some very humorous letters in their narratives. We have also been working hard on our unit on Fractions, exploring proper and improper fractions, mixed numbers and fractions greater than one. 

Miss Brooking has explored Music, French and we had our final Mini-Police session with PC Matt Young, the children were out and about in hi-viz, conducting a community speed awareness check and yes, they did catch some speeders!

On Thursday, we explored Rivers as a Geography topic - thinking about the water cycle.

Finally, P.E has seen us developing our Tag Rugby and Handball skills, we have worked on putting all of the skills that we have been learning into practise this week, through small team game situations. 

P.E. will continue to be on Tuesday and Friday for this half term,  so please send the children in with their kits on on Tuesdays and Fridays. 
Finally, the children's home learning will be evolving this half term. Reading is very much forefront of our minds and it has been brilliant to see how many children read regularly at home. the children will receive 5 learning points for an entire week of non-stop reading so please ensure that you fill in those Reading Records. We now have access to the platforms Maths.co.uk and Spag.com. This week's home learning will be on these platforms, alongside the spelling and the reading. The children have their usernames and passwords for these in their Reading Records, if you have any issues around these, please contact me via Dojo to clarify. I have posted new activities on these platforms for the children to work on. I have also challenged them to go green on their TTRS heatmaps. To do this, they need to answer all questions up to 12 x 12 in 4 seconds or under. Time for lightning fingers! 

​Don't forget, that the first week after Easter, is a 4 day week, as it's a bank holiday on the Monday.


Have a great Easter break everybody, enjoy family time and getting out and about. See you on Tuesday 22nd April.
