Friday 6th June

Happy Friday!
This week has been a week of Information writing, fractions and rehearsals!

 This week, we have worked on writing about our own exploration vehicles based on the Mars Rover, we will hopefully recreating them in DT soon.  We have also been working hard on our unit on Fractions, multiplying mixed numbers by integers and the year 4s have been working on their times tables skills in preparation for the Multiplication Tables Check next week.

On Wednesday, Mrs Hoole explored Music, French and Computing this week. The children will have a fantastic day of drama next Wednesday, when the company Entertainingly Different come in to work with Hazel and Sycamore classes. We will hopefully pick up some top tips for our performance next month!

Finally, P.E has seen us developing our Rounders 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 until the end of term,  so please send the children in with their kits on on Tuesdays and Fridays. 

Finally, the children's home learning is evolving. 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! 

One final plea, the children have their scripts for the play 'A Hint of Snow White,' please can you help the children to practise their lines, actions, facial expressions and body language, ready for a busy rehearsal schedule. We are having one every day at the moment, as the year 6s will be out for week on the w/c 16th June.

My apologies on behalf of my i-pad this week, for the lack of photographs, it is experiencing a few technical issues, there are photos of activities from this week on Class Dojo instead.


Have a great weekend everybody - see you on Monday.
