What a super week its been! We kicked off the week by watching the lovely Year 6 assembly all about Gratitude, which really made us stop and be grateful, in these uncertain times.
We have dived straight into our History topic of the Anglo-Saxons. What excited children! They love history! We found out what a typical village looked like and how society was organised Children produced some excellent diagrams of Anglo-Saxon settlements. We then found out what was happening in AD410 when they invaded - Why was it so easy and why did they choose England?
We have now mastered column addition in maths and have started column subtraction. We were so engrossed the other day that children didn’t realise it was break time! Enthusiasm for reading is at an all time high too. Children are telling me they are engrossed in their books at home and are progressing well though their books.
We have started to write our stories in English which are based on the Pied Piper this week too! I have never taught such an enthusiastic group of writers - so many children write at home and bring their creations in too! A lot of budding authors!
Have a look below at our Dance of the Pied Piper. Children enjoyed this mischievous music and got right into character. They particularly enjoyed the end of the dance where they get to hypnotise the rat!
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, our certificate winners were India for really challenging herself, Christian for being so enthusiastic in ll our learning - especially history and geography and Holly for bubbling with enthusiasm!
PE stars were Max and Grace this week - some super effort in outside PE!
Notices
Please could we make sure all children have an art t-shirt/shirt in class and have their full tracksuits for PE now the weather is turning.
I have talked to all the children about the importance of keeping up with and being on time with homework. We have a big emphasis on the times tables in Year 4 - this week TT Rockstars will be set up to practise the 8x tables ready for a test next week.
Don’t forget to do those little chores children for your tired grown-ups and raise some money for Streetlife - our class charity. We have a special tin in class to collect.
Have a lovely, restful weekend,
God bless and thank you for your continuous support,
Mrs Lyons, Miss Edmondson, Mrs Mather and Miss Forster
