Go Go Go!

Q4 have worked so hard this week. I introduced the children to Lucy Gray, a poem written by William Wordsworth. We spent time simplifying some of the language - it was written in 1799 after all! 

Our aim was to write a story opening and my oh my... the results were fantastic. I'm so proud of everyone for their efforts in writing this week. 

In Maths we looked at multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. We also tackled associative law. I think we've covered just about every way of multiplication there is! It will certainly go a long way to making us much more fluent in our Maths. 

Did the children tell you about our bulb planting? We also focused on the song 'Man that can't be moved' by The Script in our Guided Reading. The children's interpretations were excellent. Amazing imaginations. Ask them all about it! 

If that wasn't enough, we managed to describe the journey of the digestive system. We did this as a shared write and embedded our understanding with a very tense game of 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'. Lots of the children mistook Chris Tarrant for Donald Trump!! Needless to say, Q4 reached a million, (phone a friend and 50/50s came in handy!)

A special mention to Enola, who has really made a huge effort to improve her handwriting this week, you've made me and Miss Monsvoll really proud! 

A huge well done to Sophie, Ruby, Boo, Maddison, Rory, Enola, Abigail, Alexia and Jia with 100% on their spellings! 

Abigail was a very worthy winner of our Star Badge! A great role model for Q4. A huge well done to all! 

We'll be writing a biography all about William Wordsworth next week. Teeth in Science, Italy in Geography and division in Maths are all on the agenda. Go, go, go!! 

See you next week!
