    This week, the children had to decide whether or not they would like to live in Ancient Egypt and the majority did think that the lack of electronics would be an issue for t hem. And the fact that if you were a slave, the Pharaoh owned you and when they died would kill you so that you could help them into the afterlife. In Maths, a bit of codebreaking was done as we worked out the value of numbers written in numerals. Spanish was more of a challenge this week as Senora Creese asked the children to have a short conversation with a partner in Spanish. We have also checked on our mummifying tomatoes and have found that the control is soft and squidgy and smells of vinegar, whereas the ones with the specially prepared powder have remained firmer.

    This week in Science, we have discovered why the shape of the moon changes and what the 8 phases are called. In English, we all created eye catching and informative travel guides, which were linked to our Humanities topic of North America. Some of the destinations included California, Florida, New York, the Grand Canyon and even the Bahamas! We were certainly convinced that we needed to visit.

    Year 3 have been working on their fronted adverbials this week in English. If you are not sure, please ask your child to explain. In maths we are still working on place value and number lines up to 1000. In Science, we have been looking at friction on different surfaces and explaining what happens. In topic we are looking at the different countries within the continents. Maybe we could all dream of taking a trip way some day!

    This week in Year 4 the children have been excited about designing their own Shaduf and are looking forward to making it in the coming weeks. Science has been exciting as they were able to munch on crackers last week and this week will be pushing bread in a plastic bag to replicate part of the digestion process! The tomatoes are continuing to mummify!

    This week in Year 3 we have launched into a really full timetable. We have started our times tables and new handwriting scheme. We are doing lots on Place Value in Maths and putting up to 3 digit numbers on an empty number line. We have started “The Black Hat” in English and are working on fronted adverbials. We are really proud of ourselves for being so hard working and independent.

    This week, Year 5 have been exploring the features of travel writing and we have researched a location in North America so that we can write our own travel guide next week. In Geography, we found out about the 50 states of North America and their location. We have continued to develop our understanding of place value in Maths, working with numbers up to 1 million!

    This week in Year 4, we have begun teaching spelling, English and Maths and the children have been trying their best whilst we have studied The Dream Giver and Place Value. In Topic, hieroglyphics were created on papyrus and we have investigated the structure and use of the Shaduf, which was invented by the Ancient Egyptians in about 2000BC.

    It has been fantastic to see the children back in school over the last couple of weeks. They have come in enthusiastically and have worked hard during test week (and the incredible heat!) We have started our history topic of Ancient Egypt and have started to mummify tomatoes!
