A huge well done to the children who have competed their multiplication check this week. They have all tried hard, and did their very best- they should be proud of all they have achieved. We are very proud of them.
In English, the children have been looking at fronted adverbials and short snappy sentences used for effect. Today, they have researched about the Tudors ready to plan and write their historical stories next week.
In Maths, the children have looked at properties of a triangle, quadrilateral and polygon. Today, we looked at lines of symmetry.
This week in RE we have continued to look at milestones and those for Christians. We looked at infant baptism, confirmation and believers baptism. We also talked about milestones that we have had which the children loved to share.
In Science, we’ve talked about what plants need to grow and have set up an investigation to see what will happen if they have no light, heat or water.
The children have also loved looking at strawberries as part of our DT project this afternoon. The children carefully looked and drew the inside and outside of a strawberry and then got to try some.
Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Omar. He was a fantastic researcher in English today, where he found out about clothing worn during the Tudor period. Omar is also an excellent role model to his peers. He always tries hard, listens and is well behaved.
We hope you have a lovely weekend.

This week we continued with the Tiger Who Came to Tea in Drawing Club and have written thank you letters to Mum and Sophie from the Tiger.
In Phonics we have continued consolidation of Phase 4 and completed assessments. It is really important for the children to keep reading regularly and re-read books so they begin to recognise more words and improve their fluency.
In maths we have revisited subtraction and knowledge of number facts and patterns – missing number problems, odds and evens, bonds to 10, and number facts to 5.
In PE we have begun practicing some events for Sports Day. The children did really well working in teams and have shown some great skill with throwing the javelin for the first time. (Only foam ones!). This will be on the morning of 13th July (see Diary Dates on school website).
The children have also enjoyed playing in our new supermarket roleplay outside, learning about maps, reading and drawing them as well as looking at where we live using Google Earth. They have also been looking after the seeds we planted by watering them and have been checking them to see how they have changed over the last week or two.
Please ensure you check their bags over the weekend. They have brought home an order form for the Class Photos from Tuesday, a special invite for the 6th July and also a special something for someone on Sunday.
Have a lovely weekend.

We’ve had a super week reading the story ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr. In Drawing Club the children drew the tiger, the café where they had their supper and also what they thought the tiger would eat if he had joined them. They also created their own party invites. Next week we will continue to use this story for Drawing Club and to write shopping lists as it would appear that the tiger has eaten all the food in our Far Far Away kitchen!
In phonics we have completed our final week of level 4, consolidating the children’s knowledge of level 3 sounds, recognising them in words and reading more fluently by sounding out silently (in their heads). Next week we will continue with consolidation and assessments.
In Maths we have spent the week recapping our number bonds to 5 and the relevant subtraction facts, learning that if we know 4+1=5, then we know 5-1=4 and 5-4=1. The children have also explored this with number bonds for other numbers up to 10. They have recapped comparing numbers (amounts and numerals) as well as halving, sharing into equal groups and spotting number patterns such as odds and evens.
We have been talking about what living things need to grow and what might happen if they don’t get what they need. The children have enjoyed seeing the seeds they planted before half term beginning to grow shoots and leaves and were keen to plant some more this week.
Next week we have class photos on Tuesday 13th June. You will also be receiving an invite from the children to join them at an event on Thursday 6th July at 10.15am for an hour so please add the date to your diaries and look out for your invite next week. If you are unable to attend another familiar adult is welcome to join on your behalf. If you have any queries, please email beech@crowmoorschool.co.uk
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
