This week in maths we learned how to use the inverse to check our answers. This was a bit tricky for some and will need further practise for sure. We also looked at how to solve 2-step word problems. Most did excellent on these, even making up their own questions for others to solve!
In English, children finished off their information brochures on their African animal. They then presented their information to the class with their partner. This was quite interesting and children learned a good variety of facts about the various animals. Children also learned what it is to have 'aspirations' and wrote about what they would like to do when they're older and what they might have to do to get there. Lastly, children wrote their own information text about a famous landmark in their Extended Writing books. What famous landmark did you write about? What was a cool fact you remember?
In topic, children used 2Question in Purple Mash to create their own branch tree diagram for a selection of animals. Children used questions such as: 'Is your animal a predator?', 'Does your animal have four legs?' and 'Can your animal fly?' We'll continue with these sorting diagrams next week by adding pictures!
Top Spellers this week were: Eve A, James, Alanah, Rhys, Logan, Ajay, Ellie, Maddison and Daniel. Well done. +2 HPs each!
Next week's spellings (common homophones):
mail (post a letter) / male (man)
scene (in a play) / seen (Have you seen?)
reed (wind instrument piece) / read (a book?)
might (maybe?/strength?) / mite (dust mite)
board (flat piece, whiteboard) / bored (boring, not fun)
Remember to study not only the spelling of these words, but also when to use each particular spelling!
The Good Work Award went to Eve A this week for her great work with using the inverse and solving 2-step word problems.
The Good Behaviour Award went to Eve H this week for showing a good example.
The Class DOJO Winner this week was Logan. Finally, after a few weeks of carrying the points over! Good job!
Well done to you all. +5 HPs each.
Years 3, 4 and 5 were lucky enough to get invited to see a pantomime on Thursday afternoon. The children seemed to really enjoy it as it had lots of new music and loads of opportunities to join in the fun.
Homework this week is some further practise using coordinating conjunctions. It's due in by Tuesday as usual.
Remember to read at least three times a week and record what you read and the date in your yellow log book. Study those times tables and spellings too. Be sure to have your PE kit in school too please.
Today was Phoebe's last day in our class as she's moving house and will be attending a different school. On behalf of the entire class, we wish you well Phoebe. You'll be missed!

Children have a letter about the fundraising event the school is having. Please have a read through it and start thinking about raising some funds. The school receives a good chunk of the funds raised, with the rest going to fund GB athletes.
Have a great weekend everyone.
