Sycamore Class Newsletter 26.4.24

Good afternoon,

In our writing session this week, the children have been finishing writing their character description. They have written a character description on Ariki and Ipo from our class book.

Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Betsy. She wrote a fantastic character description using fronted adverbials, emotive sentences and expanded noun phrases. Well done!

In maths we’ve started our unit on money. We’ve been writing money using decimals, converting between pounds and pence, comparing amounts, estimating and calculating with money.

This afternoon, the children had some fantastic ideas on what they thought Jesus would want the world to be like.

We hope you have a great weekend.

Happy Friday and welcome back for the Summer Term!

We have started to our new class text ‘Ariki and the Island of Wonders’ in our reading sessions, and been looking at using inverted commas when using speech in our writing. In Maths, we have been looking how to make a whole with tenths and hundredths and partitioning decimals.

Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Olivia. She is a great member of our class who always works hard. Well done, Olivia!

Remember to read, read, read and practise times tables.

Have a great weekend

Good afternoon,

 

This week we have been planning and writing our own non-chronological report in our writing sessions. We have almost finished our book ‘Rumaysa’ in our reading sessions.

 

In Maths, we finished our first unit on decimals and then have been recapping multiplication and division.

 

In Science this half term, we have been looking at scientists and inventors. After talking about Thomas Edison, the children enjoyed thinking of their own inventions.

 

Our Golden certificate winner this week is Grace. She is a kind, caring and helpful member of Sycamore Class who tries hard and always has a big smile on her face. Grace is constantly growing in confidence and has been contributing more to our class discussions. Well done!

 

We hope you have a great weekend.
