MONEY MONEY MONEY! In our Maths lessons, we worked hard on our money skills – we used feely bags, coin hunts and individual challenges to work on both naming, matching and finding amounts using coins. On Wednesday, we had a brilliant RE day learning about the concept ‘special’ and linking that to the Hindu festival of light - Divali. We particularly enjoyed creating diva lamps and rangoli patterns using coloured rice. We had a fun end to the half-term - carving and creating our own pumpkins, having face paints and creating spooky art. HAPPY HALF-TERM!! |

We started our week with loose dinosaurs and a letter from Jurassic Park to ask for our help. We worked as a team to locate, measure and sort the runaways – so much wonderful mathematical vocabulary was heard and measuring skills were seen… In English we have been working on persuasive writing. We chose our favourite part of Light Years, had a photo taken and then thought of all of the positive things about it. These were then made into a WordArt shape of our choice. Chris chose the “whole of Light Years” and had lots of positive things to say about our school. Finally – we have been learning all about sound and hearing this half-term. We took some time this week to study the ear – we learnt the scientific name for each part and how they work to give us hearing… |

Earth Class have had a busy week. Following our Inset Day, we came in smiling and enjoyed our African drumming session with Hampshire Music. We are really improving our rhythm skills and our confidence is high! In Maths we have been consolidating our subtraction skills. Some of us are using objects or pictures to aid our calculations independently and others are working on tricky column subtraction. A year 4 pupil said “I knock on the tens door to borrow – knock knock”. Finally – we have enjoyed some social time together – we are able to collaborate and enjoy playing games, building and dancing together in Earth Class. Next week we will be doing lots of measuring in Maths, learning about the parts of the ear in Science and some more studying of Peru in South America. |
