Miss Staines’s Weekly Update- T1 W11

Happy Friday!

This week has been another fun week in Y3/4!

In Maths, Y4 have finished their first multiplication and division booklet! It was all about the times tables and learning the interesting patterns within them. I hope they remember everything for their test on Monday! Y3 have just started their times tables journey, looking at the 2s, 5s and 10x tables. They have flown through the booklet this week! I have been very impressed with their learning.

In Literacy, we researched some great vocabulary to describe our book’s magician character! We also started to learn about diaries and wrote one from the point of view of the Wizard of Oz! Their handwriting is becoming so neat and their ideas have been so creative!

In IPC, we continued with our amazing ancient civilisations topic. We learnt about hieroglyphics and cuneiform and discovered more about the lives of Ancient Egyptians. It’s so interesting that they used to have crocodiles as pets! Soon, we will start to look at gods and goddesses, kings and queens and mummification. It will definitely be an exciting few weeks!

We have also continued our learning about stop frame animation in digital literacy. They have loved making their own stories to turn into stop motion!

Have a lovely weekend everyone! I hope to see you at the Kindness Carnival next Friday!
