End of year blog - Newt
This week Newt have had an enjoyable final week of term.
In English, we have finished our story of The Tin Forest and all the class produced their own storyboard to represent the main parts of the book. They then spent Friday morning picking their favourite book from this year and produced a puppet show to present back to the rest of the class. There was a lot of imagination and excellent story telling for the stories chosen, including: Ug, Why the Whales Came, The Pebble in my Pocket, Lob and The Tin Forest.
In Maths, we completed some work on column multiplication as in introduction for year 4 maths. For the remainder fo the week we completed a range of problem-solving activities, including these NRICH activities:

In Science, we clarified our understanding of how light travels as well as how we can keep our eyes safe by protecting them in sunlight and what can cause damage to ours eyes, including the sun and lasers.
In Geography, we had an exploratory lesson discussing why all maps face North and what are their origins. We looked at maps of the world which face South or with a different country in the middle other than the UK.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank all the children from Newt class who have made this year so enjoyable. Also, a huge thank you to their parents/guardians who have helped with their development and provided them the support to excel this year. To finally finish and on a personal note, all the generosity towards myself was overwhelming and certainly showed how lucky I have been this year to get to know you all, thank you for the gifts as they are all hugely appreciated. Wishing everyone the best for the future and an amazing year 4 I am sure! Mr Lowin.
