Weekly Update-27/6/25

Hello everyone,
This week, in our writing, the children have completed their drafts of their non-chronological reports based on the Stone Age and have used purple pens to edit them. They’ve done a great job with them and it ‘s fantastic to see all that historical knowledge being used within their writing. They will publish these next week.
In our reading, the children have voted on a new story time book and have gone for Dead Man's Cove by Lauren St John. This is the prequel to Kidnap in the Caribbean, which was a class novel that we read earlier in the year. Because they enjoyed that so much, they wanted to read the first book of the series and are already enjoying the first few chapters of it.
In maths, we completed our unit of work on shape, finishing off with work on regular and irregular polygons and symmetry. The children have worked really hard on this unit have really enjoyed it.
In computing, we have continued our work on database branching and the children created their own digitally branched databases based on a variety of things using closed questions to separate the different items that they had. They really enjoyed doing this!
For our art unit, the children have started working on creating their fruit and vegetable plushies, which require them to draw the shape of the fruit or vegetable of their choice, cut it out accurately and to sew and stuff it to a fabric background. Although the sewing part was challenging for some children, they showed great resilience and did not give up.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou
