    This week in English we have published our newspaper reports on the Viking attack at Lindisfarne and have had a rainbow grammar lesson on using non-finite clauses. Next week we will start a new narrative unit. In Maths, we have been rounding decimals and recognising halves and quarters as decimals. We will be moving onto money from next week. In Science, we made circuits and in Topic we looked at why Alfred the Great might have been given his title and whether we feel he was deserving of it. On Thursday, we had an amazing day meeting Astrid on our Viking trip! We had fun den building and visiting a Viking Longhouse, having the opportunity to try on helmets, chainmail armour and interact with other Viking artefacts. We also got to make Viking jewellery, grind wheat into flour using a quern and play ball games with Viking shields!

     

    Here are next week’s spellings:

    The children have completed so much in just a four day week! Maybe we should have more of them. We have started two new topics. In English we are now writing about Charlie and the chocolate factory and in Maths we have moved on to money, in which the children seem to lots of prior knowledge, which is great. The Andy Warhol unit in Art is proving to practically popular with the children and also exploring different plants in science, this week we have planted a number of seeds to see which environment suits their growth better. In 3Harding we say goodbye to Adebola who is moving house and schools, so we wish him good luck.

In maths, we have been looking at angles on a straight line and angles around a point. In history, we looked at different Scottish celebrations.

    This week Year 4 have had an amazing time on their residential, getting to experience climbing, archery and even raft building… even if they did get rather wet! Fortunately though, we were very grateful for the good weather! Back at school, we have been doing more work on our decimals, learning how to partition decimals flexibly and compare them. In English, we have now finished our drafting for our newspaper report on the Viking invasion at Lindisfarne and have started the editing process before publishing next week. In Topic, we looked at the artefacts found at Sutton Hoo and what we have learnt from them. In Computing, we have had our final lesson on animation and have been looking at making stop motion animations. We are really looking forward to our Perlethorpe Viking trip next week! Take care and have a good weekend, remember to keep practising your spellings, handwriting and times tables!

    A stop start week this week with the power cut on Tuesday, however the children came back and produced their best independent writing of the year so wasn’t all bad. Their perseverance with handwriting in and out of school is really paying off. In maths children are getting to grips of reading scales and working out what the different jumps on measuring cylinders could be. Mr Spencer has commented on their progress in cricket on Thursday and their progression athletics on Monday is also evident. Same spellings as last week due to the Merit, power cut and bank holiday Monday taking away spelling lessons. Have a good long weekend everyone.
