This week, the children have planned and written their own Magic Box poems. We have been so impressed by the creativity and enthusiasm the children have shown. Their poems are fantastic! We look forward to sharing these with you when we have reflected on and improved them.
In Maths, we have been learning how to divide using chunking on a number line. We are very pleased with the way the children have persevered and improved their understanding. Next week, we will practice this method with remainders and will be applying it to solving problems in context.
We began our new topic in Science this week; living things. We looked at the characteristics of living things using the mnemonic MRS NERG. See if your child can tell you what each of the letters stand for! Next week, we will begin to look at the ways in which living things can be grouped and classified.
In P.E. this week, our handball topic came to a close as the Year 4's represented us at a very cold and windy tournament at TCS. Our teams did us proud, coming 3rd and 4th out of 8 teams, just missing out on the finals! A big well done to those children who took part.
Also this week, the year 3's participated in the spring music festival at TCS. They tried out some gospel singing and then performed to a large audience of parents in the evening. Another well done to the children involved. You did a super job. While this was taking place, the Year 4's were having fun back at school as part of World Book Day. They dressed in their pyjamas for the day and took part in activities based on Drew Daywalt's 'The Day the Crayons Quit'.
