    Firstly, thank you to all of you for supporting us on our museum trip today, the children thoroughly enjoyed looking at the artefacts in the MAA and holding the skeletons in the Zoology museum. 

    Over the half term, practise on Soundcheck on TT Rockstars will help children practise their speed and fluency.  The children have also been given a multiplication sheet (6 times table), a heat map that shows their progress on TT Rockstars and a spelling sheet. To ensure that they maintain their momentum in their learning please could all the completed sheets be brought back to school after half-term.  

    Spellings: information, sensation, preparation, vibration, decoration, donation, duration, registration, population, determination, our.

    Hope you all have a pleasant half-term.

    The children have been absolutely amazing this week as we completed our assessments.  They have shown resilience throughout the week.  Therefore, there is no spellings for this week and you can purely focus on TT Rockstars.

    We have researched how to make reverse motion linkage in DT, investigated our local habitat and created a tally chart to list the living things we found and practised our songs for our performance.

    We have a busy week next week:

    Wednesday - Inter-house Rugby in the afternoon

    Thursday - our museum trip (school uniform with packed lunch + snacks x2 + water bottle).  Drop off and pick up times will be the same as a normal school day.

    Friday -  Non-school uniform just for Year 4, please bring in a donation for the Christmas Hamper.  Koinonia will be happening in the afternoon.

    Have a great weekend.

    Spelling: illegal, illegible, immature, immortal, impatient, imperfect, irregular, irrelevant, irresponsible, impossible, there

    We have been rounding in class, a useful skill when we want to make the numbers easier to remember.  We practised round to 10 by underlining the digit in the 10's column and then looking at its neighbour to find out if we let the 'leaf' fly up or stay the same.

    In English, we have written conversations, with inverted commas, between Wangari and the ladies who come to her with their dilemmas.

    We also enjoyed: our drama sketches of the conversation between Mama Miti and the ladies; learning the irregular and regular plurals - mice and sheep; in PE  for tag rugby where we played the 'foxes and chicken' game and in Geography where we coloured the rainforests and adding in the names of the oceans.
