Monday 14th January-Friday 18th January

Our New Book Corner

Archery with Premier Sports

In English we have continued to learn about 'The Highwayman,' by Alfred Noyes. The children enjoyed doing some freeze frames based on parts of the story/poem. Mrs Milne and Mrs Jenkins found this activity very entertaining! Back in the classroom, we have then used our acting skills to help us plan our stories. We are rewriting the story from the point of view of one of the characters. We will write up our final copies next week and we hope to share them in school with the other children.

In Maths, we have been learning how to order decimals and then multiply them by 10, 100 and 1000. Next week, we will be adding, subtracting and multiplying our decimal numbers.

In History, we have been looking at the crimes and punishments that took place in the Roman, Medieval and Victorian periods.

This week we have enjoyed all our P.E sessions. We had all the equipment out in our gymnastics sessions and today we had a one off archery lesson. 

On a Friday, we have been enjoying our 'One Life' workshops. We have had visitors who have come into school and worked with us. We have been discussing how the body works and the best way of looking after it.

Finally, Mrs Jenkins would like to say well done to all the Lunchtime club leaders for their clubs this week. Everyone behaved beautifully, the sessions were well attended and enjoyed by all. Thank you for your time and planning a great activity for your club. We are looking forward to seeing what ideas you have for next week!

Friday 18^th January

Spellings: This week we have been thinking about the rules for when the homophone words ending in ‘ce or se.’ ‘Ce’ words are always nouns and the ‘se’ words are always verbs so think carefully which one you are using for your sentences.

1.     Advice/advise

2.    Practice/practise

3.    Device/devise

4.    Licence/license

Reading: We have been reading, ‘The Highwayman’ by Alfred Noyes. We have also been looking at texts you find in SATs papers and working out how best to answer them. We have been enjoying our new reading corner and our library area. Look at the blog to see what it looks like.

Thank you for all the wonderful home learning this week. Please remember to check your lists and complete a new piece for next Thursday.

Have a lovely weekend!
