This week in maths, we looked at counting in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000. We also looked at how to multiply and divide mentally, using known multiplication and division facts. Children that know their times tables relatively well found these lessons easier than those who do not know their times tables well enough yet. So, if you need to study your times tables more, do it! Use the TTRockstars website we started last week. Study in the car to and from school. Use those small bits of time, because those small bits of time add up! Homework this week is further practise using those known multiplication and division facts to solve larger equations.
In English, we mainly did our Autumn reading assessments. We also looked at using the possessive apostrophe and using plural noun rules. Several children found showing possession quite difficult, so we'll need to go through this a few more times. The work on plural noun rules was generally well done. The tricky part will be remembering to use these rules within their everyday writing!
In topic, we looked at how matter can change states. Children now know terms such as condensation and evaporation, along with melting and freezing. We'll look at using thermometers and how the Water Cycle works next week!
In PE, we continued our gymnastics unit by learning to use asymmetrical partner balances using different bases of support.
Top Spellers this week were (common homophones): Layla, Scarlett S, Owen W, Gracie, Ellie-Mae, Cerys, Amy, Kaisha, Harrison, Heather and Harvey. Nice to see some different pupils getting themselves onto the list! Well done. +2 HPs each.
Spellings for next week (-ure ending):
measure - We can measure using a ruler.
pleasure - It's a pleasure to meet you.
leisure - Use your leisure time wisely.
exposure - Your exposure to the wind will make you cold.
treasure - Who will get a dip in the treasure chest this week?
+ your own -ure ending words.
The Good Work Award this week went to Euan for catching up on the work he misses while being off poorly.
The Good Behaviour Award this week went to Joel for showing maturity and resilience.
The Class DOJO Winner this week was Gracie, again!
Well done to you all. +5 HPs each!
Remember to read and record in your reading record. Also be sure to study your spellings and times tables.
A big thank-you to everyone who brought in a donation on Friday for Children In Need Day. All donations are appreciated.
Have a great weekend everyone!
