Monday 24th April-Friday 28th April

Class 4 have worked incredibly hard this week. They have continued to build up our classroom into a dragon's den, wrote some great dragon stories, made origami dragons and learnt all about Saint George as we celebrated St George's day on 23rd April. Moving away from our dragon theme, we have continued to work hard in other areas of the curriculum and both Mrs Bowles and myself have been extremely pleased with the working attitude in Maths this week.

1)     Read through the text slowly and carefully.

2)    Read through the questions.

3)    Re read the text a little quicker and underline anything that helps you answer the question.

4)    Write your answer in as much detail as possible. Remember if it is a 2 mark question you need to put 2 points, 3 marks, 3 points and so on.

Maths- This week we have been adding and subtracting money. You have been given a worksheet to complete to help consolidate the work you have done in class.

Wednesday 19th April-Friday 21st April

Welcome back to Summer Term.

This week I have sent a newsletter home about our new topic 'Dragons,' and some key dates coming up in the future.  Please come and ask if you require another paper copy. 

Year 6 were also given a letter about their school trip to the Suffolk Ski Slopes on Friday 12th May. This is a special trip for them to celebrate the end of SATs. 

Year 5 have been given a letter for the same day as they will be spending the day at Bungay High School.

It has been a messy and fun first few days back as we have kicked started our new topic, 'Dragons.' We have been working hard to transform our classroom into a dragon mythical world. Photos will be available next week when our giant dragon has dried and he is up on the wall. Please feel free to come and see for your self as well.

Below are some photos of us playing football in our P.E lessons and creating our dragon room. Miss Dekker and Mr Knight's were blown away in our other P.E lesson this week because we were able to throw the ball REALLY far whilst playing a form of rounders. (Throwing rounders.)
