Weekly Update-25/4/25

Hello everyone,
This week, in our writing, we have read and discussed Stone Age Boy, which is the focus of our writing this half term. We have focused on understanding the range of feelings that the two main characters feel throughout different situations which involved some drama activities and also focused on using our five senses to describe different settings that appear throughout the story.
In our reading, we have also started our new class novel called Stig of the Dump. The children have made predictions about the story based on the front cover, we have discussed the meaning of challenging vocabulary as we have read through the first chapter and we have also focused on retrieval and inference work based on the first chapter. The children have really enjoyed it so far and they love the links to the Stone Age!
In science, we have started our new unit of work on Habitats. The first lesson focused on living things and their habitats, which prompted some fantastic class discussions, especially around the human impact for different living things and their habitats.
We also had some lovely book in a box pieces that were created based around their favourite books or book series, so well done to those children!
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou
