Happy Friday!
What a week, Fractions, dressing up and atmospheric poetry! This week, we have completed our work on perimeter and length in Maths and have further explored our text The Baker by the Sea English, in Science, we continued our topic of light by looking at reflection and we started our new Geography unit on Migration, looking at what Migration is and the 4 types of migration. We also explored Norse Myths in Book Club. We also re-enacted parts of the Easter story in R.E. (see photos). Thursday was an exciting World Book Day, well done on the dressing up everyone! We explored the first chapter of the BFG and turned this into a poem, creating atmosphere for the reader. (see photos) Our Wildlife Ambassadors had a great time this afternoon, working on animal habitats and placing a motion detector camera up, so that we can see the wildlife that visits our school grounds after dark! We have a new P.E coach working with us on a rota, so I will let you know which weeks we will have them and this will be on a Friday. We won't have a session with him next Friday, so P.E. kits on Thursday next week please. Next week, we will continue our work on our English text The Baker by the Sea, explore light further in Science and expand our knowledge of Migration in Geography. We will begin our Maths unit on Fractions and are continuing to practise 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. The Wider Curriculum home learning sheet for this half term will be out on Monday and on Dojo, look out for this please, sorry due to an IT glitch, I haven't been able to distribute these. Linked to the children's History learning last half term on Anglo-Saxons, year 3/4 have a very exciting trip coming up on Tuesday March 26th to Wildwood Escot in Ottery St Mary, where we will experience Anglo-Saxon life first hand. Letters will be out on Monday and the payment will be via School Comms (Gateway). Have a great weekend, see you on Monday. Mr F Comments are closed.
