Week beginning 25.6.18

This week we have started to plan our adventure story set in the Borneo rain forest.  We are using Annie and Jack from the Magic Tree House book series as our characters.  We have decided to address the deforestation of the rain forest as our main event in the story. The children have done research about it already and are enthused to write their story.

In maths we are looking at statistics for the next two weeks. We will cover pictograms, bar charts, tables and line graphs.

This week the class have learnt about character descriptions during our literacy lessons- as part of our adventure stories unit.  Next week in literacy we will be looking at settings.

The children made great stop motion videos about different quadrilaterals!  Next week in maths we will be looking at symmetry in shapes.

Nearly all children had their correct PE kit in this week and the correct school uniform- well done!  Next week our class is hoping for 100% 🙂

Week beginning 4th June

We had a wonderful week back after half term last week!

We started our ‘adventure stories’ topic in literacy which the children seemed really pleased about.

In maths we looked at different types of triangles and then quadrilaterals.  The different types of quadrilaterals were quite difficult to remember, so this week we are using our knowledge to create a stop animation video about quadrilaterals!

Please can all children remember to bring in their correct PE kit on a Monday and leave it all week!

Please can all children wear the correct uniform to school- black shoes are our main concern at the moment.  Thank you.

Homework 18th May

Because it is walk to school week AND art week next week,  I would like the children to do two things:

  1. Complete the walk to school week word search
  2. Design a poster to encourage people to walk/ cycle/ scoot etc to school next week.

It was assessment week this week, the whole class did really well even though some were quite difficult.

This week in PE we have had a go at ‘Tri Golf’ the children really enjoyed it!  We will be doing this again next week because everyone enjoyed it so much.  Some of the children will be able to do this at a tournament in June.

Next week is art week and walk to school week.

Homework for Friday 11th May

For homework this week I have asked the children to search for the sugar content in drinks (at home, in the shops, out for a meal etc).  Next week in science we will be looking at teeth and we will be investigating the sugar content in different drinks. It will be helpful if the children already have some knowledge on this.

Children do not need to bring in drinks or bottles!

Friday 11th May

This week the children have started new topics in both maths and literacy.  We have looked at angles in maths and performance poetry in literacy.  We have linked our performance poetry to our work on Fairtrade in topic.

For homework this week I have asked the children to search for the sugar content in drinks (at home, in the shops, out for a meal etc).  Next week in science we will be looking at teeth and we will be investigating the sugar content in different drinks.
