I hope you have a really lovely holiday. Below are a few little things I would like you to complete over the holidays. They will be due in for Thursday 3rd November.

Spellings- Please review all the spellings we have learnt this half term. We need to particularly work on the ones we haven’t got correct in our spelling tests. You need to be aiming for at least 7/10 on the tests we do in class. We will have another go after half term.

Maths- I would like you to have a go at Mrs Bowles Times Table challenge. I have given you several copies so you can practice and try and beat your best.

English- I would like you to complete a book review on any book or author. It will be very similar to the book reviews we did for Roald Dahl’s birthday, when we reviewed our favourite book of his. Remember to include; Name of book and author, favourite part, description of the characters, a rating, what type of book is it (genre, fiction, non-fiction) and who else do you think would enjoy this book. You can either record it on the paper I have given you or you could write it on the computer and email to me at:

analisa.dekker@wenhaston.suffolk.sch.uk

I am looking for the best book reviews to go on our class blog.

In our topic lessons this week we have been making some Greek Vases. Take a look at the photos from this week.

We have been solving crimes in our Science lessons with Mr and Mrs Bowles, solving a light investigation, as well as collecting lots of house points for our houses, writing fantastic persuasive non-fiction books with Miss Dekker and we also created some fantastic artwork for the school to celebrate Roald Dahl's 100th birthday. At lunch time we had a lego club under the trees in our field; this is what we made.

Friday 16^th September

Maths- This week we have been learning the value of numbers with decimals. We have ordered them, rounded them and multiply and divided them. Have a go at either of these brilliant websites to practice more at home. We will be using our active learn accounts again soon, but they need a little bit of administrative work to sort out our new classes at the moment.

Decimals - 10-11 year olds - Topmarks  (ordering decimals)

Decimal Math Games - Math Play (rounding decimals to the nearest tenth, hundredth, thousandth)

English- This week it has been Roald Dahl’s birthday. We celebrated his birthday by talking about characters in his books and created some lovely art work. This week I would like you to write a book review for your favourite Roald Dahl book. Think about writing in paragraphs, using your best handwriting and including as much detail as possible. You could write about what is happening in the story, favourite part, favourite character and who do you think would enjoy the book the most. A book review is similar to your persuasion writing you have been doing this week. You can use the same techniques to persuade people to read your favourite book. (Adjectives, in my opinion, I believe, I am certain you will strongly agree.)

                                                             Friday 16^th September

Your spellings for this week to practice are:

1.     Apparent

2.    Appreciate

3.    Attached

4.    Available

5.    Average

When you are practicing, remember you can make it fun and think of a rhyme, write an acrostic poem with each letter being the start of a line, write in different coloured pens, write in bubble writing or any other fun way you can think of to learn your spellings.

Welcome to a new year. We have had an exciting start with children coming back with a great attitude to their learning. We started our new term with some wacky or extreme reading. We had lots of fun taking these photographs. Our 'Food for Thought Project' got underway with a big harvest of courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples and plums. Adnams was very pleased with what we had grown for them!

Tuesday 13th September we look forward to Roald Dahl Day. We will be celebrating Rolad Dahl's 100th birthday with various activities based around his books. Class 4 will be doing some artwork based on his books that will be displayed around the school. The theme of the artwork will be based on our British Values along with the wonderful characters in Roald Dahl's books.
