Weekly Update-29/9/23

Hello everyone,

We've had another busy week in Beech. In maths, the children have been learning to read and write Roman Numerals, as well as rounding to 10 and 100.

In our writing, we have started working on our next piece, which will be a recount of our trip to Murton Park. It's a super piece of writing to be working on and the children have been working hard on learning about and using the different features that are used in recounts e.g  writing in chronological order.

In our music lesson, we were focusing on the gospel song called This Little Light of Mine, and the children were just getting to know the song and practised singing it together and adding some movement to it as we sang. We even had a few children sing certain sections on their own, which was brilliant to hear. Below is a video of the children singing a section of it.

We also elected our school council class member. We had some lovely posters that were designed, the children spoke to the class about why they would make a great school council representative and then every child was given the opportunity to vote for who they thought we make the best representative for the class.

In computing, this week we focused on using finite and infinite coding loops to animate our names and the children were tasked with making different letters do two things e.g change colour and move upwards. They worked really hard on these and there were some lovely digital pieces produced.

Take care,

Mr Kyriacou :)
