Key Stage 2 Newsletter
We have had a lovely time
this week in year 3/4! The week got off to a great start with the children’s
super numeracy home learning- it was really great to see that so many children
had really tried to continue their learning at home and we are very proud of
them. We chose all of the children for our achiever this week- they have blown
our socks off with their outstanding figure drawings of Egyptian Gods that we
simply had to celebrate everyone’s success. They showed so much attention to
detail in making sure that their drawings were in proportion and were very
careful with their watercolour painting!
Literacy
In
Literacy this week, we have been developing our ideas into complex sentences,
focussing on the main clause and embedded clause in a sentence and making sure
the children remember their commas in the right places. The children have been
applying this into their diary writing this week. They imagined they’d been
marooned on a desert island and then wrote a diary about a day on the island-
we had some great ideas, from swimming with dolphins and eating coconuts to
looking for shooting stars at night!
Numeracy
This week we have been using
our multiplication and division knowledge to answer word problems. The children
have been successful in identifying the key parts of information in a word
problem, before deciding what operation they need to use (add, subtract,
multiply, divide) and what strategy they need to use to find the answer. The
children have then been given different assessment-type questions to tackle, in
preparation for our assessment week next week. We have been really pleased with
how they have been able to apply their learning to solve these!
Topic
As mentioned earlier, the
children have produced fantastic art outcomes in our topic sessions this week.
They have all produced an accurate human figure and then displayed great skill
in their use of watercolour pencils. Look out for them on display in the
classrooms and mall when you come in for parent consultations!
Have a lovely weekend!
