What an exciting week we
have had! This week, the children have had the pleasure of learning all about
how to keep teeth healthy. A local dentist, Mr Reid, kindly sent LKS2 a film
clip, explaining the importance of why we should keep our teeth healthy and how
to do so. Mrs Shahzad helped the 3/4 children to brush their teeth correctly,
ensuring everybody was using the correct techniques.
Literacy
This week the children have
been learning how to extend their ideas using a range of conjunctions such as: and, but, because, so, however, therefore
and although. In addition to this, the children have also been learning to
construct complex sentences. We were really impressed with the children’s
ability to identify the main clause from the subordinate clause, which is a
tricky concept to understand! Next week the children will be showing off their
learning from the whole of the year, and completing an assessed write. We aim
to make this a positive experience for all children, ensure that they
understand that as long as they try their best, that’s all we could ask for!
Numeracy
In numeracy this week, the
children have been learning about direction and positioning. The children
become familiar with the different compass points, and started to learn that
there are 360 within a circle. The children have been practicing turning around
a circle different by degrees, both clockwise and anticlockwise. In addition to
this, the children have been learning about coordinates. We have taught the
children to go along the corridor and then up the stairs to locate different
coordinates. The children have applied this skill by having a fun game of
Battleships!
Topic
This week in topic the
children have been learning all about the African wildlife, especially the big
5! We all enjoyed watching clips from Lion King, as well as Lewis’s home
learning, to help us learn more about the wildlife found in Africa. The
children have produced their own Safari Brochures, which share details of the
different animals found in different African countries like Kenya and Tanzania.
These brochures are so beautifully presented that a selection of these will be
going up on the blog for the world to see! Well done guys, you have blown us
away!
Reminders
·
Please ensure your child’s PE kit is kept in
school from Monday-Friday every week. As it is the summer term, all P.E
sessions will be outdoors.
·
Please ensure all reading records are brought
to school on Monday mornings. This is very important so we can monitor how much
reading your children are doing during the week. Thanks for your support.
Have a lovely weekend!
Team 3/4
