Non-stop learning!

What a week! So where do I start? Let's start with English. The children have been looking at lots of different poems all week; Kennings, Haikus and Tankas. We finished the week producing some thoughtful Cinquain poems to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Ask the children all about the different syllable patterns.

In Maths we have been delving even deeper into our multiplications. We now know all about commutativity and distributive law - sounds tricky but the children excelled! The children also looked at factors and products whilst we focused on fractions in our Maths Meetings - ask the children all about it.

In Science we have been exploring the digestive system. The children were able to identify the parts of the digestive system and produced an interactive worksheet to learn the functions of each part.

We have started our new text 'Bill's New Frock' for our Guided Reading. Poor Billy has woken up as a girl and his Mum has sent him off to school in a frilly pink dress! Goodness knows what's in store for him.

Well done to Alexia, Abigail, Deborah, Emily, Kacey, Maddison, Matthew, Rory, Ruby and Zach who all achieved 100% on their spellings. Jayden topped the dojo charts with a huge 18 dojos whilst Zach was a worthy winner of our Star Badge award. A special mention to Hayden too who has achieved yellow belt in Kickboxing. Well done Hayden!

Next week we will be exploring a poem by William Wordsworth called Lucy Gray. It tells the story about a young girl who went out one evening in a storm never to return. We will turn our attention to division in Maths, looking at teeth in Science, (open wide!) and will be producing a fact file all about Italy in Geography. Not sure how we'll fit it all in but Q4 never cease to amaze me.

I'll upload some pics very soon so keep checking back.
