This week, Crew Taylor and Crew Knowles are taking part in a TTRockstars battle!!
Encourage your child to play at home to help their class win! The class with the most correctly answered questions throughout the week will win!
We can’t wait to share the results on Friday!
Last week, we ‘planted’ some beans to investigate which conditions are best for plant growth. We are excited to see if any have sprouted over the weekend! Over the next couple of weeks, we are building on our KS1 knowledge of plants and are looking forward to learning lots of new things!
Please find the extended study attached the menu for Year 3/4 (previously homework menu).
We are looking forward to seeing all of your hard work! As always, if there is something you want to do that isn’t on the menu please do it anyway! We would love to see!
Don’t forget – keep taking your books home and reading to improve your AR data, and keep practising those times tables!
We had a lovely afternoon today working in partners to support our peers to edit and improve their scientific reports. There was lots of great critique happening with the children offering lots of wonders that would make their writing even better!
It was fantastic to see all their happy little faces after hearing why they had received their certificates this week. Well done all. Keep being super stars!
Here are last week’s out of this world winners for year 3 and 4. There were some gorgeous words said about all out winners this week and we are so proud of them all. Well done and keep working hard!
We had lots of fun today investigating which materials make either conductors or insulators. We learnt that metal objects such as scissors, paperclips and tin foil make excellent conductors within our electrical circuits. Unfortunately, wood and plastic not so much! They were insulators and stopped the electricity flowing through the circuit and the bulb didn’t light up.
The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Today we looked at finding and identifying the different features of a scientific report ready to write our own tomorrow!
Today, Crew Knowles focused on writing instructions to build a working circuit with a bulb and a switch. We had to focus on ensuring our instructions were clear and specific. The children then paired up and followed each others’ instructions to see just how accurate they were!
