Spring Term 2 2024

Friday 15th March
 
We had an exciting start to our week where we walked down to Cawsand Beach to take part in a beach clean. A big thank you to Rob from Beach Guardian for leading this. We learnt so much about the effects that plastic is having on the ocean and sea creatures.  Another big thankyou to The Bay for our hot chocolates at the end of our session!
 
This week we have finished our designs for our recycled light. We have also come up with a short story or poem to go with this. In Scieylnce, we have also our switches to put in a simple circuit in order to make a lightbulb work – we will be testing these next week!
 
Spellings and TTRS as normal for next week.
 
Enjoy the weekend,

Weekending 1st March 2024

 

In English we have continued looking at biographies including finding information out about our class mates and then using subheadings to organise this. We also explored not using the ‘real name’ that much instead substituting it with a pronoun.

 

Year 4 have continued looking at perimeters including those of regular polygons. We found out that if a shape is a regular polygon it will have equal sides and you can multiply the length of a side by the number of sides to find the perimeter. Year 3 have started looking at unit fraction. A fraction is when a shape or number is split into equal parts.

Year 4 have started doing daily multiplication checks as well as TTRS. The link for this is:

In PSHE we thought about when we get angry and ‘the fizz’ and using STOPP to help control. The first S means, stop and take a step back. Within DT we found out about our SOHO lighting challenge and started creating designs.

Have a lovely weekend,

Week ending 23 February 2024
 
Firstly, thank you for everyone that continued doing TTRS over the break as well as reading every day. Very impressive, and it will make a difference. 
In English we started our topic on biographies, looking at a number of famous people include, Taylor Swift, Florence Nightingale, Usian Bolt and Simone Biles. we looked at fact files and how we could organise the information using sub headings. 
In maths Year 4 started looking at length and perimeter, with perimeter being the length around a closed shape. Year 3 have continued with length, including adding and subtracting lengths and comparing them.
 
We started our new topic on Energy for geography thinking about what energy we use in our homes and community. Within in RE we looked at the biblical story of Jesus in the temple.
 
Have a good weekend.
