100% attendance prize raffle: Kourtney! A special well done to these children!
This week, Rock has been the genre of music the children have entered into class with. Foo Fighters seem to have been the most popular rock band, judging by the head banging I witnessed!
In English, we have begun our unit on poetry. Firstly, we have looked at figurative language used in poems and also a selection of poems about rainforests.
In Maths, we have continued working on Multiplication and Division, so any extra time you can find to spend on revising all those times tables (up to 12 x 12) will be time well spent. The grid method for multiplication has gone down a storm! (This method is part of the maths homework for this week – maybe some of you can remember learning this when you were in primary school….?)
In PE, we have started our unit on handball. The children work extremely well in these sessions and give their all at all times. Due to the icy/snowy conditions though, it had to be held indoors.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend – some of you will probably be listening to children learning words for our production of Bugsy Malone. The children have until half term to learn all their lines and cues – they are all so very keen, which is marvellous. Some may be a little disappointed about the role they have been given, but whatever their role, it will definitely be a fun show to participate in, so please do encourage them.
Homework is Maths, Spellings and Grammar this week.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
