We had lots of fun today with a cool P.E class focusing on throwing and catching. We played drill games and a game called “Around the World”. We are looking forward to another one tomorrow!!!

Numeracy-Area 18.04.19
We were learning how to calculate the area of a shape on 1cm squared paper. We were using the formula LxB which means Length by Breadth so if the length is 3cm, and the breadth is 2cm, we times them together to get 6cm squared to be the area. We found this easy to do so we tried a challenge of creating shapes for a certain area.
The pictures below were of an even bigger challenge. In this challenge we had to create a shape using 7&1/2cm squared for the area. Some of us were VERY creative indeed!!!!

Literacy Homework
Children need to learn their spellings. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however they all know that they can decide how they would like to learn these words. We have used many different activities in class and for homework over the last two terms, so children should be familiar with activities to use. If they are unsure, they can choose from this list:
- Blue Vowels
- Vowel Circle
- Rainbow Write
- Elkonin Boxes
- Diacritical Marking
Or look back on previous homework posts, ask in class or use

Triangle Dance
We were pretty chilly outside when we were doing our measuring activity so to keep warm whilst the last few children completed their job, we decided to try out the new Triangle Dance!!! We had lots of fun giving it a go!, Finn and Alfie were definite naturals!
How Far Can You Jump??
Today we went outside to measure how far we can jump! We started by marking where we had to jump from and using one metre stick to measure how far to the nearest tenth of a metre! We then had to mark one metre and from that mark, measure what fraction of a metre more. Some of us were pretty impressed with the distance we could travel!
Measuring Metres in Maths
Today we were using metre sticks to illustrate the length of some people’s jumps in our Maths question today. Some of the boys and girls in our class tried to see if they could jump as far as they could!!!!! We used metre sticks to measure the length of various items around the classroom to the nearest tenth of a metre. For example 1.6m
