Term 4, week 4
Request! In the next couple of weeks, we are hoping to produce some button art. Therefore, if anyone has any buttons to donate (especially pale, spring colours), that would be very much appreciated.
In maths this week, we will be continuing with division, before moving on to scaling, tally charts and bar charts/tables.
In English this week, we will be looking at more advertisements, asking further questions about the effectiveness of different adverts and writing an advert for a specific audience.
Whole class reading will include popular songs this week, sharing these as a whole class and discussing the content – it is always lovely to hear the children’s thoughts during out reading sessions.
In our topic work this week, we will focus on science, looking at forces and magnets. This will build on some work we started in January and should be fun!
In RE this week, the children will continue with the Salvation Unit, further building on identifying why Christians call the day Jesus died ‘Good Friday’.
Maple class have PE on Thursdays and Fridays, both sessions will be with Mr Luckhurst.
On Friday, Mrs Tompsett will continue the touch-typing unit in ICT, do the spellings and times table tests and continue with the artwork based on 1950s posters. These have now been transferred to a larger scale and are looking great!
Homework will be sent out on Tuesday as usual, with details also on the class blog. Reading Records should come into school daily and will generally be changed on a Monday and Thursday. We ask that the children aim to read daily, ideally with an adult, and please do write a comment in their reading records to tell us how they are getting on. We are encouraging the children to be more independent with their homework and reading records, so please do remind them to put the relevant books in the basket in class.
As usual, I am happy to answer any questions you may have, so please do contact me if you have any queries, using the class email address:
Best wishes
