It has been a busy week and the children have worked really
hard having now settled really well in their new classes. Friday has been a
very exciting day for both year groups. The Year 4s had a fantastic time at the
Canoe World Championships – more on that next week. The Year 3s did some lovely
activities based on Roald Dahl.
Literacy
All three classes began the week doing our first session of
‘Big Write’. In the first session of the day the children explored alliteration (‘s’
words), WOW words and powerful openers
(slowly, silently etc). Then after lunch
the children wrote their own poems about either School, Birthdays or the Beach.
Here are some extracts from their final poems:
On the brilliant beach I had lots of fun
Chilling out in the shining sun
Squawking of seagulls stealing my lunch
Making a loud crunching munch.
(Holly Hunter - Year 4)
I went to a sensational beach
For lunch I had a sumptuous peach
I heard the seagulls squawking in the sun
So I gave them a bit of my bun.
(Freddie Yeo - Year 4)
Spelling - ex
We now have our new spelling homework booklets and have
selected eight words from the word wall. The children learn words beginning
with ex – these can include words other than those in their list or just their
list.
Lime Maths - Count
from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100.
We looked for patterns.
If you start at 0 and count in 50s, what do you notice about
the numbers in your sequence? Would 555
be in your sequence?
Some of the children found it useful to use the Base 10
resources to continue their patterns.
We used the ‘Splat 100 Square’ to look for patterns when
counting in 4 and 8. What patterns can you see? Can you predict which numbers
greater than 100 will be in the sequences?
Poplar Maths –
Place Value and Subtraction
We spent some time this week practising carrying out
subtraction sums. We need to understand the importance of putting each number
in the column corresponding to its place value.
French
We have continued to practise our vocabulary:
les bras = arms
le nez = nose
la tête = head
les jambes = legs
les yeux = eyes
la bouche = mouth
Can you remember the pronunciation and the actions?
RE – Hinduism
We learnt about some of the artefacts that are important to
Hindus. Can you remember the names of
the artefacts and what they are used for?
