Miss Staines’s Weekly Update T1 W10

Hello everyone!

It sounds like the children had a great week off last week! Coming back to school must have been a little bit tough, but they have worked so hard.

In Maths, Y4 have continued with their times tables, learning all the fun patterns. We especially loved the 9x table! Y3 have finally finished addition and subtraction and tried their best in their test today. Next week, they will start multiplication and division.

In Literacy, we have continued reading Leon and the Place Between, focusing on grammar points like subordination conjunctions, using an or a and possessive apostrophes. We are also starting to read our new book in Guided Reading- The Train to Impossible Places!

In IPC, we became archeologists and uncovered some Egyptian artefacts in the sand! It was so exciting to discover what the artefacts were and what they could be used for. We have been researching the River Nile and also started to look at another ancient civilisation- Ancient Sumer. If they would like to create or learn more about ancient civilisations at home, we would love to see it in the class! I have provided some extra information about this in their homework this week.

We have also had fun in other lessons too! We made our own flipbooks in Digital Literacy (as we are starting our new topic of Stop Motion Animation) and tired ourselves out in PE with our circuit training. PSHE was also important to us- we talked about family conflict and how we can resolve it.

Just a reminder that if you have anything for the Kindness Carnival, please donate! We are all so excited to show our TGMC backpacks to you on the 21st November.

Have a great weekend!
