Super Science and Perfect Parkour 

This week the children have continued their brilliant start to the year and have proven that they are capable of some fantastic work. We have finished our instructions unit in English and all of the children have improved from the cold write! Next week we will begin looking at persuasive letters. 

Our work on place value has continued in maths and we have started to look at word problems and problem solving. We will be continuing this into next week and will begin work on roman numerals. 
Theme has been a source of real excitement and interest in the class as we have finish our Saxon posters and started looking at what it was like to live in a Saxon village. 

Science is a subject that I love to teach and the children have really enjoyed it too. The year fours have been looking at electrical circuits whilst the year fives have been experimenting with friction.

The children have also been doing some fantastic dancing with Mrs Martin. They have been inspired by pakour and used music from James Bond, Pink Panther and Mission Impossible.

Notices:- Spellings have been handed out to the children to learn in preparation for a test in the last week before half term. Included on this list are the spelling patterns which we will be looking at in class, these will not be tested and are not expected to be learnt at home but any amount of extra work will help.

- Maths homework has also be handed to the children in the form of CGP targeted maths books. This homework will be set every Friday and will be due in on the following Thursday.

- I will be setting up and issuing bug club tasks next week.
