Good afternoon,

I have been really impressed this week with the amount of reading at home and homework I am seeing in the children’s books – please pass on my praise to the children and encourage them to keep it up. There is also Mathletics which the children can log on to and their spellings are on Sycamore’s spelling page.

This week we have been recapping column addition and subtraction in Maths. In English we wrote a newspaper report of an experience at a Roman amphitheatre. For Geography, we researched the differences between the Artic and Antarctica, and in Science we started to look at temperature.

Hope you all have a good weekend,

Mr Reynolds and Mrs Martin

Good afternoon,

The children have been working hard this week and have really got in to our Geography and Science topics.

In English we have been looking at some of the aspects of newspaper reports and in Maths we have continued to look at decimals and rounding.

Thank you for all of your responses for parent’s evening, I will be sorting out the Teams invitations over this Bank Holiday weekend.

Please keep encouraging the children to read at home daily, it is making a huge difference.

Hope you have a safe and restful weekend,

Mr Reynolds and Mrs Martin

Good afternoon,

We have had a brilliant first week back, I have been really impressed with the children’s effort. In particular their handwriting and presentation has been great – I hope this continues.

In Maths, we are looking at decimals and in English we have moved on to newspapers. For Topic, we are investigating Romans – which is what their homework this term is based around.

This term we have P.E. on a Monday and Thursday so children will need to be in their P.E. kits both days.

Please keep encouraging your children to read daily and record in their reading records.

Hope you enjoy the sunshine,

Mr Reynolds and Mrs Martin

Good afternoon,

I am very pleased with how hard the class have worked this week, they have produced some great historical stories based in Ancient Egypt and have really got to grips with tackling fractions.

As I mentioned last week, we are really pushing reading at the moment and it was great to see the difference in just one week, so I have asked them to keep this up over Easter.

I hope the weather this week continues over the break and everyone has a restful and safe time.

Mr Reynolds and Mrs Martin

Good afternoon,

The children have worked so hard and been very focused this week, during the assessments.

In topic we have been looking at hieroglyphics and trying to make our own. We then tried to write our names and create sentences.

Next week we are back to fractions in maths and historical stories in English.

As you are hopefully aware, we are having a big push with reading at home. As a class we have set out the reading records slightly differently (the left hand side showing in school reading and the right hand side showing reading done at home). I am very impressed with how many children have been reading more frequently at home over the past 2 weeks, please could you help encourage them to keep it up.

Hope you all have a restful weekend,

Mr Reynolds and Mrs Martin

Good afternoon,

Thank you to all of your donations today and coming dressed in red. We have had a fun day, trying to tell a joke every 30 minutes.

I have been really impressed this week with how the children have been working. They have been really creative whilst looking at The Three Little Pigs from the wolf’s perspective and in maths they have done well as we begin to explore fractions and what they mean.

In our topic, we have learnt all about pyramids. We found out that one pyramid had each side measuring 230m, which we worked out was 8 laps of the netball courts. We gave jogging/walking the distance ago to get an idea of the size! We also designed and built a pyramid structure, using straws and plasticine. Next week, we will be learning about hieroglyphics.

Hope you all have a restful weekend,

Mr Reynolds and Mrs Martin
