Year 4 Summer 1 Week 2
Well done year 4 for completing another week!
In English, we have planned our setting description based on mountains. We have focussed on using the 5 senses, similes, metaphors, conjunctions and expanded noun phrases! Next week we will start writing our first draft.
In Maths, we have finished our topic on money! We have started our time topic. This week we have learnt: days, weeks, months and hours, minutes, seconds. We will continue with time next week.
In art we have learnt about atmospheric perspective. They have used charcoal, ink and pencils to sketch in a mountain landscape picture using different shades and techniques.
In shared reading, we have carried on reading secrets of a sun king. We have used our inference, retrieval and summary skills this week.
The children have also been given homework to complete about money word problems and fronted adverbials
As always ensure your child is reading and going on TTRS 5 x a week.
Have a lovely weekend!
Year 5 Summer 1 Week 2
Well done Year 5 for a great week!
This week, in Maths, we continued our topic of Angles. This has included the children calculating angles on a straight line, around a point, within shapes and discovering the difference between a regular and an irregular polygon. Generally, the children have been successful during this topic, in particular when working out an unknown angle.
In English, we have been continuing with preparing to write a biography, about either King Henry VIII or Anne Boleyn. The children improved a 'WABOLL', and have begun to plan their writing too. Next week, we will be completed our first drafts, before editing and writing our final drafts.
This week, the children also learnt all about Hnery VIII's six marriages! The children conducted their own research and wrote a fact file about one of the ladies, and shared their findings with the class.
This led wonderfully to our school trip to the Tower of London on Thursday! We had a brilliant day, learning lots about what the tower was used for in Tudor times. The children behaved beautifully and were given compliments on their behaviour by members of the public! Well done Year 5. What a fantastic day!
Have a lovely weekend :)
Year 1 Summer 1 Week 2
Year 1 have had a fantastic week!
Maths:
This week we have been focusing on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We have ended the week beginning to look at equal groups where children have done a practical lesson using different objects to group them into equal or unequal groups.
English
We have read the story ‘Handa’s surprise’ where children have furtherly explored using adjectives and conjunctions to retell the story. Children have been writing sentences about the different animals and fruits in the story.
Science
In science, we have planted our plants and kept a plant diary this week on any changes there possibly may be. Beans take a while to grow, so hopefully as we keep them in our class we see a difference in the coming weeks!
We have had an exciting week with lots of different visitors from different careers coming to see us. Thank you for visiting and inspiring us!
We have also had the opportunity to meet the little chicks in reception that had hatched, the children loved meeting them!
Have a good weekend everyone!
Year 6 Summer 1 Week 2
Another busy week in Y6!
English
In English we have continued our work on narrative writing and have looked at how to build tension and atmosphere using short sentences. We have also looked at how to describe the weather to create mood.
Maths
For Maths we have been looking at using our knowledge of angles in a triangle and quadrilateral to calculate missing values. We have been using ruler and protractors to draw shapes accurately and have been learning about the different parts of a circle.
BBC bitesize has lots of further revision for these areas - click the links below:
Science
In Science we looked at how to use scientific symbols when accurately drawing electrical ciucuits.
Rainbow Room Summer 1 Week 2
We have had a lovely sunny week in Rainbow Room.
The children have been focusing on the core words they/he/she. They all enjoyed the songs 'She'll be coming round the mountain' and 'For he's a jolly good fellow' during our lessons. We also used their photos to recognise each other by asking "who is he?" and "who is she?".
The children spent time making some beautiful flower artworks that can be seen in our classroom window. They used cotton buds to dot and brush the paint.
We also spent time painting bread using yogurt and food colouring, some children chose to mix all the colours first, whilst others brushed it on and folded the bread to make a yogurt sandwich.
We spent lots of time in the garden now that the sunshine has arrived. The children have enjoyed playing with sand, water play, climbing into the stacked tyres and exploring the foliage around the garden.
If the sunshine continues, please ensure you send a hat in with your child and apply sunscreen in the morning - thank you.
Have a great weekend.
Year 3 Summer 1 Week 2
Well done year 3 for a brilliant week at school.
We have had some brilliant visits from a firefighter and police officer and learn more about what they do in the community. We also had an amazing school trip learning all about rocks and plants - please see the pictures attached.
In maths this week, we finished off our fractions topic and have started learning about money. Next week we will be learning how to add and subtract amounts of money.
In English, we finished our diary entry from the perspective of someone escaping a volcanic eruption. Next week we will be learning about a newspaper article and the features we need in it.
In shared reading, we started reading our core text ‘Queen of Darkness’ and have answered retrieval and inference questions about the characters and their lives.
In science this week, we completed an experiment to show the different things plants need to grow. We planted seeds and took away one key thing they need to grow such as soil, water etc.
As always, please continue to read 5 times a week and play on TTRS 5 times for 5 minutes a time.
Have a wonderful weekend.
