Dear parents and children,
25th June
Weekly Round Up
Dear All,
This week we have begun a three-week story unit based around the literacy shed video ‘The Ugly Sharkling’. We have also revisited the use of expanded noun phrases to add detail to our writing. As part of our guided reading we have been practising our dictionary skills, focusing on how to find a word quickly using our knowledge of the alphabet and the guide on the side of the pages. In maths, we have moved on to shape and space. We began by revisiting right angles and then moved on to identifying acute and obtuse angles. On Monday, we completed the government times table check and are now waiting for the results. Our topic work this week, has been a history focus and we have looked at Celtic Round Houses. The children have watched a number of short videos and used the internet to find out more about these before producing a written information piece on the design features. They have also complete a watercolour hillfort as part of their art. In science, they have begun new unit on life process, ask the children if they can explain the acronym ‘Mrs Gren’ to you.
As you can see we have had a busy week and next week is looking just as busy. On Monday, the children can come in sports clothes as we are spending the afternoon at the field. Although we cannot have a traditional sports day, we be having a socially distanced sports afternoon at the field with Y3.
Thanks
Have a great weekend
Jane Boudier
