W/C  13th July 2026

MATHS:

We have tackled some problems about mass, involving all four operations. Continuing our daily fluency has also been a really important way of ensuring that we review and practise the skills that we have been learning this year.

Spelling words:

Our spelling words this week focus on different ways of representing the /sh/ sound:

machine, extension, comprehension, pressure, expression, discussion, friction, motion, information, confidential, ambitious, special

ENGLISH:

Moving on from the success of our volcano non-chronological reports, the class have researched and written a non-chronological report on a Hawaiian animal of their choice! They have developed their research and note-taking skills and recalled the different features needed to be successful in their writing.

SCIENCE:

We wrote explanations and drew diagrams to explain what happens to a shadow as an opaque object moves closer or further away from a light source.

ART:

We continued to create for our carnivale!

COMPUTING:

The children were taught how to code with different timers – those that act using a certain time interval ( ‘every’)  and those that act ‘after’ a certain amount of time.  

FRENCH:

The class drew a person and labelled the different body parts in French!

Children’s University

It was so lovely seeing the children on stage in the hall and speaking about their different experiences. I was really proud of the way they all listened and supported each other as well as how clearly and confidently some of them spoke. I hope they enjoy displaying their certificates at home!

Home Learning

Reading:

• Please continue to read daily to and with your child. We suggest 15 minutes per day as the optimum reading time for home reading.
