Friday 6th December

Happy Friday!

A week of Factors, Dwarves and informal Settlements.

This week, we have been working on our English text The Sleeper and the Spindle. We have explored direct speech, the use of relative clauses and using antonyms. 

Maths has seen us working on multiples of numbers. We have explored multiples of 3, 6 and 9 and  what common multiples and factors are.  We have used the language: Product Multiples, Quotient, Array, Divisor, prime number, Composite number and have made generalisations about what we have noticed in the tables that we have explored.
In Science we explored how metamorphic rocks are formed. P.E has seen us developing our Tag Rugby skills, we have worked on small game based situations this week.

Next week, sees us continuing to read and write, using our text The Sleeper and the Spindle as inspiration. We continue to explore Multiplication and Division in Maths and will explore  Rocks in Science. We'll also continue work on Informal settlements in Geography and work on our Rugby skills, through game situations .  

A very exciting whole school event is taking place on Monday. We will be going to the Northcott Theatre in Exeter to see a Pantomime. This is a great opportunity for the children to experience live theatre and I'm really looking forward to it and I know that the children are too. Remember, this means meeting at the Rugby Club at 8.45, rather than at school, so that it is easier for the coaches. Pick up will be from school at the normal time, please ensure that the children have a packed lunch with them. Further details are available on Class Dojo.
​
It is also Christmas Dinner day on Wednesday 11th, so wear your Christmas Jumper on Wednesday!

P.E. will be on Thursday and Friday for this half term until Christmas, 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. So far this term, the response to home learning has been very positive and it really does help to reinforce the learning that the children undertake during the school day. New topic home learning is in there, as well as on Class Dojo.


Have a great weekend everybody, see you on Monday at the Rugby Club!
