 Weekly update: Friday 4th October  2024

 Here are some reflections on our week:

In Maths this week, we started  by looking at subtracting numbers up to 4-digits. We used our manipulatives to physically do the subtraction questions, before applying our knowledge to more abstract questions. We then went on to look at rounding to help estimate answers to questions, before looking at the inverse operations. An inverse operation is the opposite – addition is the inverse of subtraction for example.

During English this week, we finished our non-chronological report and looked back through them to edit and improve. We kept our eye on features such as: relative clauses, parenthesis, formal language and facts. Then we went on to explore the characters of our story in more detail, thinking about their; thoughts, emotions and speech. This helped us plan what we were going to say for our diary entry as one of the characters.

In Phonics this week, we have been looking at the /i/ phoneme as in symbol. You will find the list and spelling sentences further down the page.

In other areas or learning this week:

• In RE we looked at how Christians worship, through music, prayer and the Ten Commandments. We listened to a range of songs and identified the type of language used and how this may show God as loving and holy.
• During History we learnt all about rationing during WW2. We looked into why rationing has to take place as the majority of food was imported to Britain and how this led to more home grown produce. The class were surprised to learn about how little of each food children and adults were allowed.
• In PSHE this week we did some role-play scenarios of different situations between friends. This allowed us to discuss, the ways in which we could respond as a good or bad friend. The children then completed a friendship quiz about themselves.
• In Science this week, we looked closely at the bonds between solids, liquids and gases and the scientific processes that change their states.
• In Computing the children looked at coding and a physical simulation.
• In French the class worked on saying, reading and writing numbers to 20 and the days of the week.

Have a lovely weekend!

Homework sentences 

Each child had an individual biscuit but some children were still hungry.

At secondary school they teach physical education so it is important to remember your gym kit.

The Maths task was difficult but the class came up with a system to help them work out the problems.

Each child had an individual biscuit but some children were still hungry.

Home Learning

Some ideas for home learning if you wanted to do some are: 

• Make your own 3D history timeline from the Stone Age through to WW2. Perhaps you could use clay to make models or use cardboard.
• Come up with your own scientific experiment to test a range of materials in your home - make sure you check with an adult first!
• Create your own newspaper report all about yourself :)
