Lower
Key Stage 2 Newsletter
LKS2 had an exciting visit
on Tuesday afternoon from a Bollywood dancer, who not only taught the children
different Indian style dances, but also told us all some fascinating Indian
mythical stories and performed some traditional Indian songs. A reporter from
the Rothwell Record came to snap a picture of the children performing an Indian
dance routine and we are looking forward to reading the article when it’s out
next month!
Literacy
The children have had lots
of fun during literacy this week becoming real life news reporters. We started
the week hot seating various eye witnesses from different news articles, asking
them to tell us the events of the story from their own perspective. We then
rewrote our News articles from the previous week in the form of a script
including lots of fantastic adjectives to describe. The children then worked
super hard practicing acting these and even brought in props to further enhance
their performances. The final news reports were truly brilliant and the
children really impressed us with their clear and confident performances.
Numeracy
In numeracy this week the
children have been learning all about the relationship between fractions,
decimals and percentages and how to convert between the three. They have also
learnt how to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers. Why not ask your
child to demonstrate this to you? Next week we are going to be revisiting time,
learning how to successfully read a 24 hour clock and how to read and navigate
around a calendar.
Topic
After the children had a
great time with our Indian dancer on Tuesday we then researched even more
styles of Indian dance and the children have been busy practicing their own
Indian dance routine. We have continued to practice our knowledge of the 7
continents and looked at the locations of the different countries.
Residential
Can all year 4 children who
are going on the residential ensure they meet in the school hall on Wednesday
15th at 8:45 a.m. Can everyone be dressed in their own clothes and
bring a water bottle so they can have a drink on the journey. Can we also
ensure all clothes are clearly labelled so we can return any lost property to
the rightful owners.
Reminders
·
Please ensure your child’s PE kit is kept in
school from Monday-Friday every week.
·
As the weather is getting warmer please make
sure your child is bringing a water bottle to school every day.
Have a lovely weekend!
