Weekly Round Up

 14th January 

This week in maths, we have completed our January golden 100, don’t forget to ask your children how they did.  We have also begun to look at using the short-written method for multiplication, the majority of the children picked this up really quickly.  They also enjoyed being the teacher and identifying the mistakes in calculations.   

In English, we have been looking at some of the vocabulary that we will encounter in our new Pathways book to ensure we understand the story fully. We have also revisited speech marks to reinforce the rules.  Our RE this half term, is to look at the parables of Jesus.  We began this week by defining what a parable was and then we looked at the parable of the Sower and the seeds.   

In Computing we have begun to look at variable and how to use these to create games where a score is kept, or a time is set.  This afternoon, they have continued with their work on Greek Gods.  

We are now back to normal routine, reading records will be collected in on Monday, TTrockstars should be completed by Tuesday and homework should be returned by Wednesday.   On Wednesday, we will also be doing another book swap so if the children have any books they have read and would like to swap for new ones if they could bring them in on Monday or Tuesday.  They will then be given a token which they can swap for new books, we have set a limit of three books per child to keep the swap manageable and ensure everyone gets a chance to pick new books they will enjoy. 

Enjoy the weekend
