Hello!

We’ve had a fantastic week in Sycamore class!

In Literacy, we have tasted salsa and explored Mexican food. We have written our own  instructions how to make salsa and we are going to use these next week when we make our own!

In Maths, we have moved onto a new unit of work and are beginning to explore angles and shapes. We went out onto the playground and practiced doing half and quarter turns clockwise and anticlockwise.

In topic, we have studied lots more about food around the world and talked about how rice is used as a staple in lots of countries. We also enjoyed cooking and tasting our rice. Yum! In History, we looked at some different types of steam locomotives and made some fantastic posters. In PSHE, we talked about the effects that medicine and drugs can have on your body and how we can keep ourselves safe.

Have an amazing weekend!

Hello!

What a scorcher! We’ve had a fantastic week. We’ve looked at all of the features of a set of instructions and practiced our grammar ready for writing these next week. We also had some fantastic pieces of free writing this week!

In maths, we have been working on our statistics unit. We’ve been looking at data on tables and charts and comparing then. Well done to the Year 4 children who completed their multiplication check this week. They really gave it their all and I am so proud of every single one of them!

In PSHE we have talked about the different types of drugs and how they can sometimes be positive and sometimes be negative. In Design and Technology, we have talked about the eatwell plate and how ingredients for lots of different recipes fit into this. Our science this week was looking at the functions of the digestive system. We played ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ with questions on the digestive system, which we all thoroughly enjoyed!

Starting next week, we will no longer have P.E. on a Monday, so children should come dressed in their school uniform.

Stay cool and have a fantastic weekend!

Hello!

We have had a fantastic week!

This week, we finished our poems about the chocolate river from ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. They are amazing! In maths, we continued our unit on time.

We created our own water cycle in a bag in science, so we can observe water evaporating and condensing. These are on the window in our classroom and we will be keeping an eye on them over the next couple of weeks.

We have really enjoyed celebrating the jubilee this week. We have designed our own bunting, made cards to send to the Queen, and even made our own flags! Of course we finished the week off with our Jubilee picnic. The children’s 70s costumes really blew me away, they were fantastic! We had a lot of fun performing ‘Dancing Queen’ at the picnic too. The hard work that the children put in practicing really did pay off!

Have a great half term and we will see you back after the break!

Miss Allison and Mrs Davies.

Hello!

We are at the end of the week!

We have had so much fun this week. In Literacy, we have written and performed our very own play scripts. The imagination was amazing!

In maths, we have been learning about position and direction. We have learned how to plot co-ordinates on a grid and how to translate shapes. Next week we will be moving on to time.

In science this week, we have talked about changed of state. We have investigated how solids melt into liquids and that this is a reversible change. We even got to eat some chocolate! (Thank you Miss Childs!)

Have a fantastic weekend!

Hello!

We have had a fantastic week.

In Literacy, we have continued our work on play scripts. We have explored how using stage directions affects the way we perform and how the structure of a script works. In maths, we have completed our unit on money. The children absolutely aced it! Well done to each and every one of you, you’ve all worked so hard in this unit.

In Science, we carried out an investigation using bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and bubbles. We will be finishing the write up for our investigation next week. In Geography, we discussed latitude and longitude and even used 4 figure grid references!

Can I please remind you that when children come in their P.E. kit on a Monday and Thursday, they should be wearing dark blue or black jogging bottoms, a plain white t-shirt and a dark blue or black hoodie (or a school jumper/cardigan). Any pumps or trainers which stay on their feet as they run around. If children have their ears pierced, they must be able to take them out themselves. 

Have a fantastic weekend!

Miss Allison

Hello!

What a wonderful first week back we have had!

In Literacy, we’ve started our unit of work on play scripts. We’re basing our work on Oliver Twist. We have had lots of fun acting it out and getting used to the style of a play script. In Maths, we’ve started our unit on money. We’ve looked at all of the coins and notes you can use and compared different amounts of money.

Our topic this term is ‘Where in the world?’. Children have been sent home earlier this week with a homework sheet, there are lots of great things for you to get stuck in to!

Just a reminder that P.E. is currently on both Monday and Thursday, so children need to come to school dressed in their P.E. kits on these days.

Last term, all of the classes took part in the coin challenge to fill up a jar with coins. Sycamore class did very well and we came second! We will be taking part again this term, if we manage to raise the most amount of money, our class will get a prize!

Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy the bank holiday!

Hello!

It’s finally the end of term!

We have had an amazing term. From our play ‘Rock Bottom’ to our trip to AICO this week and everything in between. The children have worked really hard so they deserve a well earned break!

In literacy, we have written our poems in the style of ‘The Magic Box’ some of them are so imaginative! In maths, we have finished our unit on decimals.

Next term, we will be starting P.E. on a Monday again. Children should come to school dressed in their P.E. kits on the first day back.

Have a well earned rest and we will see you next term!

Hello!

We made it to the end of the week

I am so proud of all of their children for their amazing performances of our stone age play ‘Rock Bottom’. They had so much fun and put so much hard work into it. Thank you for all your help and support with costumes and line learning.

In Literacy, we have been reading and performing a poem called ‘The Magic Box’. We have discussed the features of a text and identified these in our poem.

In Maths, we have been learning about decimals. We have found tenths and hundredths.

Next week, we look forward to our trip to Aico in Oswestry Monday. Children should still come into school in their school uniform.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Miss Allison and Mrs Davies

Hello!

What a week we’ve had!

We have been very busy rehearsing for our play. We can’t wait to see you all next week when you come and see our performance of ‘Rock Bottom’! Thank you to those who have already got their costumes in school, we had a fantastic rehearsal today in our costumes. Well done to the children for learning their lines so well, we’ve got some fantastic actors in our class!

Today we sadly had to say goodbye to a very valued member of our class. Good luck to Oliwia, we will miss you very much!

In between rehearsals, we have been completing some of our assessments. I’m very proud of the children as it’s been an exhausting week and they have done fantastically.

Please get some well deserved rest and we’ll see you on Monday.

Hello!

We’re at the end of the week!

This week in Literacy, we have been writing our historical stories based on ‘The Stone Age Boy’ and we will soon be moving onto a new unit. In Maths, we have rounded off fractions and have started our unit on decimals.

Our play rehearsals have stepped up this week! We are beginning to practice without our scripts, we’re so excited and cannot wait to perform in a few weeks time!

Letters have gone home about costumes and what your child will need to wear for dress rehearsals and the performance. Costumes must be in school by the start of next week (Monday 21st March). We have also sent a letter home about tickets with a slip for you to return. It is strictly two tickets per child to allow for all parents and carers the chance to come and watch.

Have a good weekend!
