Year 3/4 – Singing Homework

This week, Year 3 and 4 have been learning and studying the WW1 marching song – It’s a Long Way to Tipperary! We will be singing this at our Celebration of Learning / Christmas production so it would be really great if everybody could have a practise over half-term.

Thank you for your continued support, The LKS2 Team.

Class 12 – Vocabulary in reading

Another really lovely reading session today. Selecting a range of new words from the new sections of our class text. Today’s leaning had a shared responsibility. Each table group had to use dictionaries to find definitions of two words they picked at random. Then they needed to write the definition and the word used in an example sentence ready to share with the full class at the end. We the collated our learning at the end for a shared learning experience, you can see it captured half way through (but I forgot the final picture!!) Smashed it guys, great work all.

Class 12 – vocabulary in reading

Class 12 are really impressing me in our reading lessons. This one was focused on vocabulary. Here the children had to match a definition to the correct word. All words have been selected from our focus text. When the definitions were matched and checked they then set to work using the new vocabulary in their own sentences, allowing me to see if they were able to use the words in the correct context. Great job guys!

Year 4 Family Learning- 8th October

Parents and carers of Year 4 are warmly welcome to join us for Family Learning on Tuesday 8th October. The session will start at 1:30pm in your child’s classroom (please access school through the school office). To tie in with our second case study, we will be experimenting with digital artwork using iPads. We look forward to seeing you there!

Sculpture club

This week we made 3D faces and aimed to apply some of the the techniques we learnt over the last couple of weeks. Loops, folds, curls, fringe, arches and tabs! They all got stuck in straight away and I was extremely impressed with all their efforts this week! Well done guys and thank you for having a go and listening so well!

Class 12 – reading fluency

Today in reading fluency, we did something a little different. I shared with the children the next 6 pages of our book and they had to read through them but they were in the wrong order. Realising that the story wasn’t in chronological order and events jumbled, they then spent the rest of the lesson reordering it and discussing why each piece came next. Well done!
