We have had a super week in
Lower Key Stage 2 and are very proud of the children’s mature and sensible
attitude towards their assessments! We have also had a great reading day today
and the children looked great in their costumes!
Home
learning
Next half term, the children
will be learning all about India in their topic sessions. Please support your
child at home during the Easter holidays by helping them to research an aspect
of Indian culture. Their learning can be presented in any way they would like,
for example through posters, paintings, PowerPoints, fact files and even
videos! We look forward to seeing this home learning in the first week back,
and putting it towards our classroom displays!
Literacy
This week, the children have
had a chance to show off their super learning by writing a recount about a day
out at the seaside. The children used a short video clip as a stimulus, and
then planned their own day’s events at a pleasure beach. We were so impressed
to see the children independently using a range of compound and complex
sentences, adjectives, adverbs, powerful verbs and sophisticated word choices
too! Ask your child for some new words they have learned this half term in
their ‘Magpie Books’!
Science
During our science lessons
this week, the children have been learning about the rock cycle and the
different types of rocks (sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic). The children have
had a chance to make these different rocks out of chocolate, which enabled them
to see the different characteristics of the rocks. The children have also enjoyed learning about
earthquakes and volcanoes! Why don’t you ask your child how and why volcanos
and earthquakes happen?
RE
This week, the children have
been continuing their learning about Ganesha’s birth. They have been retelling
this story using comic strips, short plays, smart notebook and through story
telling. We have enjoyed reading and watching all of the different versions of
the story!
Spellings

Please remember to bring indoor PE kit on the
correct day (Tuesday/Thursday). The children will be starting to learn ‘The Big
Dance’ routine.

We check Reading Records every Monday morning;
please ensure your child brings in their signed Record so we can reward all of
their fantastic reading.
Have a lovely
Easter holiday!
