Y3/4 began 2016 in the same style as they ended it. They lead an assembly for the whole school about the Epiphany. With only an afternoon to practise the Y3 children read exceptionally well, with clear and confident voices. The singing was beautiful and their behaviour was outstanding. We were very proud of them. With the Christmas performances we expected nothing less that perfect!
In English and Maths this week we have been recapping topics from last term and the children have been keen to get back into the school routine.
In our topic we have begun to compile a set of class questions that we would like to answer over the next term about World War Two. I can see already how enthusiastic they are about the subject.
Thank you to Daniel Harrison's grandad who has provided us with his first hand experience of the War, even though it was through a toddler's eyes. The information about evacuees was very interesting.
We have begun our new topic called Community in RE.
In English we will be looking at a variety of genres through the World War Two topic such as plays script, recounts, film clips and poetry.
In Maths Y3 will begin with addition and subtraction skills and calculation methods.
Year 4 will begin next week with multiplication and division skills and calculation methods.
For homework we would like all the children to produce a project to present to their class in 2 weeks. This can be similar to their Viking projects, in the form of a PowerPoint, model, poster, written work or art work. We would like these to be in by Friday 22nd January.
Could the children in Y3 learn their 3 x tables for a text next Friday? Could the children in Y4 learn their 4x and 8x tables for a text on Friday? New spellings will be given out next Friday when they have been introduced in class.
Thank you for your ongoing support
