What an exciting week we have had! What with 2 swimming lessons, practising for our Easter assembly and a great school trip as well - we have been kept very busy and have learned so much!.
Children were so well behaved on the school trip. It was fantastic to hear them noticing all the things learned about in Science - spotting weathered rocks and theorising which type of rocks different buildings were made out of and why. The excitement at seeing fossils on the front was just magical! Also we managed to have an ice-cream with 4 different choices of sauce!
History has been brilliant this week as children interpreted evidence to explain about King Alfred - how great really was he. We definitely have some budding historians!
In English this week, we have been learning about 2 formidable and contrasting characters in our novel - the goddess of the Emerald lake and Razvani the Fire-Fiend. Children were really putting their Year 4 writing skills to the test to see if they could create a picture in the readers’ heads using all their techniques and of course choosing vocabulary carefully.
In maths, we have learned about multiplying with multiples of 10 eg 5 x 70 and we have learned to make the answer 10 times or 100 times bigger. We have learned the 11x tables which were easy! We have also done the 12x and we have moved on to multiplying larger numbers by partitioning - eg 57 x 6 = 50 x 6 and 7 x 6.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, our certificate winners are as follows:
A Roger Robin certificate goes to Lily-Mae for being a person who always strives to do good and notices the good in others too. You can always be trusted to be mature and sensible. You are self reflective and try so hard to improve. You are a role model in our class.
A Roger Robin certificate goes to Charlie who was Lily-Mae’s partner on our school trip and also our cameraman! Super pics! You can always be relied upon to be mature and responsible Charlie. You again are a compassionate and caring member of our class - another role model!
