Q4 put to the test

Date: 9th Dec 2016 @ 6:46pm

Test week this week for Q4. All the children took them in their strides and I can say I wasn't  surprised with our results because the children never cease to amaze me. It's been a long term and the children have worked incredibly hard but it sure is paying off. 

We still managed to squeeze some Maths in and tackled perimeter. The children now know the area and perimeter of rectilinear shapes. We spent Friday with some challenges such as 'Can a shape have the same area and perimeter?' The children even created their own challenges and enjoyed investigating. 

For our English I introduced the children to 'Coming Home' by Michael Morpurgo. We enjoyed listening to Michael himself telling us the story. We had some discussions about the text and created an information poster all about Robins. Did you know that the robin was declared Britain's National Bird on December 15th, 1960? The children did a great job using lots of organisational devices for their posters. Next week, we will be comparing the story to an advert - can't wait for that! 

Well done to Josh who won Star Badge and Deborah who topped our Dojo chart. We wish Enola lots of luck this weekend who auditions for Britain's Got Talent! How exciting is that. We know you'll do Q4 proud. Good Luck! 

See you next week!
