Action packed!

..... and breathe.. Wow we have had one action-packed week. We got our Geography off to a terrific start and now know all seven continents. The children can also tell you where some of the European countries are located - their atlas skills were great!

We kick-started the week with a performance of the story of Rama and Sita, we hope you enjoyed the photos. Q4 are brilliant performers and they never cease to amaze me!

In English we have been looking at segregation in the 1950's. We focused on 'The Little Rock Crisis', which occurred in Arkansas in the USA. The children have written some excellent persuasive pieces arguing why segregation is wrong. It tied in perfectly with our Black History Week. The children showed sympathy, empathy and thoughtfulness in their writing which was most pleasing. Please ask the children all about it. 

In Maths we have been looking at representing multiplications. This week we have been able to represent our answers using bar models as well as with place value counters. It will certainly help us to become more fluent in multiplication - column method and distributive law next week! 

Next week we look forward to our new text, 'Bill's New Frock' by Anne Fine for our Guided Reading sessions. Can't wait for that! We will also be exploring poetry in our English lessons and we'll be looking at the digestive system in science. Lots to look forward to! 

Well done to Kacey, Izzy, Sophie, Josh, Emily, Alexia, Boo and Abigail who shone in their drama production - Q4 are very proud of their talents. Izzy topped out dojo chart whilst Deborah, Sophie and Boo won our Secret Student prizes. Ask the children all about it! 

See you next week!
