Worship: This week in worship we have focused on the anti-bullying week message of ‘One Kind Word’ and have enjoyed putting this in to practise by making personalised stickers for chosen people.
Next Week:
Reading and Writing: This week we have continued to focus on writing accurate simple and compound sentences based on our book Leon and the Place Between. Next week we will use our skills to help us write with a wider range of conjunctions (as, while, when, although, because) in our descriptive writing..
Reading homework- Keep diving into these lovely books from school! We have so many wonderful choices. We are encouraging the children to read for 15 minutes every day at home

This week’s words: famous, joyous, fabulous, tremendous, jealous, enormous, glamorous, disastrous, adventurous, nervous
Maths: This week we have continued our unit on addition and subtraction and have been developing our reasoning skills to explain the mistakes in calculations. We enjoyed a thought-provoking investigation into Roman Numerals.
Next week we will begin to recap the column methods of addition.
Times Tables Homework:
Try Hit the Button and choose the division 6x table facts to help prepare for our Gold x6 tables test which lots of children are now working on. The next times tables will be 9x tables.

Science: We have predicted what happens to a tooth left in acid and will record the results in our next lesson. We will plan our own investigation into the effects of different drinks on our teeth.
Art: We have learned to sketch a human figure in proportion and are experimenting with the primary colours red and yellow to make different hues of colour. We will use the Greek pots as inspiration for our own designs to tell our own Legacy.

German: Next week we will learn how to tell people where we live in German.
PE: Our Dance lessons on Wednesday afternoons will help us prepare for our Christmas play and Mr Ault will teach Netball on Fridays. Please remember to tie long hair back and remove earrings on PE days.
