Date: 13th Mar 2022 @ 9:38pm

Hi Everyone

Thank you all for your time last week, it was wonderful to talk with you all either on the phone or in school. The children were really excited to share their work with you. If you didn't manage to come in and would like to have a little look at your child's books, please let me know and we can arrange a time.

This week in Writing, we are finalising our Stone Age stories and editing our work looking at speech punctuation and detailed description through noun phrases and adverbs.

In Maths, we are exploring the connections between multiplication and division. We will embed our understanding of repeated additon and division and look at how to use our times tables knowledge and understanding to calculate with bigger numbers outside of 12 x a number eg 68 divided by 4. We will learn how to divide with numbers that have a remainder and solve problems.

In Reading, we will complete the Iron Man story and discuss if we are happy with the ending. We will use our inference skills to discuss Hogarth's feelings, actions and emotions as well as explore the Iron Man's personality.

We will celebrate British Science Week by exploring the theme of Growth. Robins class will delve into the ocean to see how the growth of pollution is affecting marine habitats. We will conduct simple experiments to see the damage that oil has on the ocean as well as continuing our rocks and soils learning. Our question this week is based around the hardness of each rock. The children will plan a fair test and focus on writing a conclusion.

In RE the children continue their learning under the theme of Discipleship. They will explore times Jesus spent with his disciples and reflect on the messages given and the importance/relavance of these in our lives today. "Christ is the light that guides us."

In PE, the children will be putting the final touches to their Stone Age dance, look out on Twitter for their performances!

Our spellings this week focus on the suffix 'ian'

magician, musician, electrician, politician, optician, mathematician, technician 

OR

school, really, went, through, because, like, they, most

Please continue to read with your child daily and sign their reading diaries. Five minutes of times tables each day is also really beneficial for rapid recall of these key facts. 

Thank you for your continued support, please come into school, email me or call the school office if you have any worries or questions. 

Love from Mrs Rice
