Week Three

Date: 23rd Sep 2016 @ 2:52pm

Week three is over – where is the time going? The children have once again done me very proud this week. Mrs Kellett and Mrs Platt were invited to our English lesson on Wednesday, and they were most impressed by Q4’s attitude, desire and commitment to their learning. Well done!

We have been busy writing a letter to those grumpy crayons. We spent the week planning and editing our letters, before finally writing it today, we really enjoyed being Duncan, and we hope those poor crayons forgive us for working them so hard (or not at all!)

In our maths we have been working on column additions and subtractions with four-digit numbers. We are so good at them that we can exchange, and even solve missing number problems – there’s just no end to our talents!

For our science topic this week we looked at the characteristics of various organisms ranging from a seahorse, who has an ocean habitat, to a toucan who lives in the rainforest. We used the information we had gathered to create our very own classification key.

Our Spelling Stars this week include: Emily, Sophie, Ruby, Boo, Alicia, Zach, Alexia and Matthew, who all scored full marks. Matthew and Maddison have topped the Dojo charts for the week, whilst Alexia won our Star Badge. All are very worthy winners, and excellent role-models for Q4.

Just a couple of last things before we go. A big Happy 9th Birthday to Peaches who is 9 on Saturday! We would also like to wish Emily lots of luck who is competing in a Triathlon on Saturday for charity – what an amazing thing to do. We are very proud of you.

See you next week!
