Hello everyone,
This week, the children have been busy doing their assessments, and they have been working extremely hard. We have also made some lovely buns for the bun sale, which will be taking place after school, on Friday.
That's all for now,
Mr Kyriacou :)

Hello everyone,
This week, we finished the final chapter of Grandpa Chatterji, which was called The Poppy Field. We've really enjoyed reading it as class and doing lots of fantastic reading, writing and topic related work around it. One of the reading activities we have done revolved around the children writing their own blurb for the story and then designing their own cover for it. They really enjoyed this lesson, they wrote persuasive blurbs which would really get the reader interested, but did not give too much away about the story. They also produced some beautiful alternative designs. As a class, they have enjoyed the book so much, that we have agreed to read the the two sequel books as part of our story time reading.
In science, we have continued our topic on living things and their habitats. This week we were identifying and classifying different living things and we were generating questions using a classification key. The children all really enjoyed making their own classification keys. Here are some examples below.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou :)

Hello everyone,
In maths, we have been focusing on identifying unit and non-unit fractions and also focusing on how to calculate equivalent fractions. They've been working very hard, they've been using accurate mathematical vocabulary related to fractions and produced some great work, which has shown a huge increase in confidence, particularly with working out equivalent fractions through multiplication and division.
We have also celebrated World Book Day. The children came in some absolutely wonderful costumes to represent characters from some of their favourite books. We did lots of fun reading themed activities, we had a parade in the hall where they got to show off their costumes and they also got to choose a book to take home as part of our book swap.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou :)
