Hello everyone,

In Numeracy last week, we have been learning about 3d shapes. We were learning some of their names, and what faces, edges and vertices are in 3d shapes. We have also continued our times table practice.

For Grammar, we looked at sentences with and without speech marks. From these we were able to work out that the words being spoken needed speech marks before and after the spoken words and punctuation is needed before closing the speech mark. In Reading, the blue birds and red rabbits have joined together to read a skinny novel called “Aliens Stole my Dog” and the Green Giraffes are now onto level 9 of Engage Literacy and are reading a book called “Little Sea Horse and Big Crab”.

In Science, we’ve been learning about light, heat, electric, movement and sound energy. We thought about all the energy we use in our daily lives. Next week we will start looking at where this energy comes from.

In Health and Wellbeing, we have been learning about stereotypes when talking about jobs. I was very impressed with the maturity on display when it was suggested that anyone can do any job they want to do but they will need to work hard to achieve this.

Our topics this term are Pop Art and Euro 2024. We joined up with Rooms 9 and 11 for P.E. and enjoyed dribbling, passing and shooting drills. We have had a brief look at Andy Warhol and made some Pop Art with bubble writing in his style that we will get up on our topic wall for display.

We’re trialling a new table layout in class, so the classroom might look a little bit different when the children return on Tuesday.

Enjoy the bank holiday if it applies to you and have a great week.

Kind Regards,

Mr Dalling.
