Class 4 Homework Spellings Each week Class 4 will have a new set of 10 spellings that will be posted on the blog. Please support your child with learning these over the week. Thank you. This week's spelling pattern is words ending in -ably. Maths Each week there will be Maths homework assigned to the children on Maths.co.uk. The pupils have all received their log in details, but if there are any problems or your child has lost their log in details please speak to Miss Barber. These are short and focused quizzes to support the pupils across all areas in Maths.  With the new updates to Maths.co.uk, I am now able to set two separate objectives (a year 5 objective and a year 6 objective). This should now be able to support their progression according to their age. Please complete by the end of the week. Thank you. Have a lovely week! Miss Barber :)

This week, Class 2 had an exciting time filled with fun and learning!  In PE, the children practiced different types of jumps using various equipment, showing lots of energy and enthusiasm. They enjoyed challenging themselves and improving their skills. They kept asking how they could make the apparatus even harder! In ICT, we focused on developing typing skills, with the children happily wearing headphones and engaging with the activities. It was wonderful to see their focus and excitement as they honed their computer skills.  In Maths, they used their knowledge of bonds to 10 to explore bonds to 100, using equipment to demonstrate their understanding. The class showed great teamwork and a positive attitude throughout the week, making it another fantastic step forward in their learning journey! Wishing you all a lovely weekend, Class 2 Team

 Friday Forest School for Year 4 Year 4 have had a fabulous time outside in our Forest School area this afternoon. They have really tested their team-work and communication skills alongside their imaginations and perseverance. We had a calm start to the afternoon, where the children chose an object from their Nature Spot and brought it back to the log circle to talk about what was special about it. There were lots of beautiful autumnal leaves which led to some great descriptive language being used.  After this, it became a very busy afternoon with everyone enthusiastically engaged in what they had chosen to do. We had some risk-taking with tree climbing and balancing on the rope walk. Some children worked together to tie tarpaulins up and make themselves a den. Other children were crafting to make dream-catchers or using tools to make bows and arrows (safety talk included!) There was also some successful fire lighting this week and the children could see how to start and keep a fire go

 This week we have been very busy. On Thursday we thought carefully about what makes us all unique and we discussed how it's okay for everyone to be different and to respect  and celebrate each other's differences. We watched the video of Cbeebies star Andy day and his band Andy and the Odd Socks, singing their; Choose Respect song. Reception then went on to design their own odd socks and year one sorted images of children respecting others in the classroom.  Rhino readers https://www.twinkl.co.uk/go Reception code: HE5046              Tap, Pat, Nap        Year one code: HE6725                Fun at the Theme Park

Class 4's Kind Week Class 4 had a thoughtful and engaging week at school. They began with a Remembrance service on Monday, honoring those who served, fostering reflection and gratitude. Throughout the week in PE, they worked hard on their dance sequences, refining their movements and building confidence with each practice.
