As we approach holy week, we have been balancing our in classroom workload along with our Easter preparations. The children have been brilliant in transition by constantly needing to switching their focus based on the busy schedule.
We have spent the last two science lessons experimenting with shadows by using different types of objects to create different shades of shadows. We were then able to change the size of shadows depending on the distance from the light source to our object.
In Maths, we have began our big topic of multiplication. We have been looking at larger multiplication calculations that are much harder to do mentally- in which we have been partioning our biggest number. We then applied these skills into our new tidy method called ‘Long Multiplication’ or ‘Column Multiplication’.
In English, we have been touching over lots of SPAG skills that we have learnt this year and applying these to grammatically correct examples of work and to break sentences down into different clauses.
In PE, Mr Murray and Mr Holford took the class on an orenteering session, where the class hid objects around the school grounds and the children used maps to locate the hidden objects.
Let’s Celebrate
Isaac for being a co-operative learner: You really do make mine and Mrs Mather’s life easier when it comes to group activities. You are so adaptive in working alongside anyone and your calming mature approach really makes you a good teammate. Whether it is a classroom activity or a PE task, you always treat your group in the right manner.
Cora for being an enthusiastic learner: Your focus and attention to detail throughout our assembly practices have been excellent Cora. This is clearly evident by your characterisation and the commitment to your role- you are always staying in character. Great work!
Virtue Butterflies: Our butterfly this week goes to Pippa for being loving and compassionate. You are not just loving and compassionate towards your friends, which is seen by the teachers everyday on the playground, you are also so kind and respectful towards our members of staff. This really doesn’t go unnoticed.
