Happy Friday!
What a week, Fractions, Netball and Villages by the sea! This week, we have continued our work on Fractions in Maths and have been working on our final writes based on our text The Baker by the Sea English, in Science, we continued our topic of light by looking at how we see; in Geography, we studied what a source and host country are and the pros and cons of migration. We also explored Norse Myths in Book Club. On Wednesday afternoon, the children had a rare treat, a Samba session with Mrs Hoole, which they enjoyed immensely! On Thursday, we worked on our Netball skills (see photos) and our understanding of Sportsmanship, which the children were brilliant at. Next week, we will complete our work on our English text The Baker by the Sea, with our big write of a persuasive brochure and continue our Maths unit on Fractions, whilst practising our Times Tables, please see the links below and on Dojo, for the expectations on these. In terms of home learning, can I remind everybody that the expectation is that children read for at least 10 minutes at home everyday, this can be magazines, newspapers, manuals, cookery books, as well as their reading books, as it is all reading. I would also like children to spend time working on their times tables, which are vital in so many areas of the Maths curriculum, I have set them 25 minutes worth of TTRS time as home learning. This can be done as a block, or it can be spread across the week, so that the children do 5 minutes a day. I have been really pleased to give out lots of Dojo points to people who have been completing their time! I recommended some apps and websites to help with Maths as the Year 4s have a Multiplication Tables Check to do in June: One Minute Maths by White Rose Maths Ten Minute Tables by Dorling Kindersley URBrainy.comMTC for a practise version of the check. White Rose Maths Parent booklets which you can reach through the Maths page of our school website or here: https://whiteroseeducation.com/parent-pupil-resources/maths/free-downloads Spellings will be out on Monday for the test on Friday. There will be a new TTRS sheet on Monday, some great scores this week in our Soundcheck, so keep practising. With this in mind, try watching the following on Youtube to help learn those vital tables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p16Szjg59Sg&t=3s Linked to the children's History learning last half term on Anglo-Saxons, year 3/4 have a very exciting trip coming up next Tuesday, March 26th to Wildwood Escot in Ottery St Mary, where we will experience Anglo-Saxon life first hand. Letters have been given out and the payment is via School Comms (Gateway). Don't forget, it's a three day week next week, we will finish on Wednesday. Have a great weekend, see you on Monday.
