This week in maths we looked at finding missing values using the inverse operation. We also did some more work on solving word problems (both one and two-step). Also, children reviewed their termly targets and updated them. They now have a better idea of what they need to work on over the last half-term.
In English, we mainly worked on our topic presentation. Children put on a Mediterranean travel fair for other KS2 classes. They needed to work together in groups to complete a travel brochure and a persuasive poster for their presentation. Overall, the children did great! They even practised providing answers to questions that they might be asked.

Top spellers this week were: Eve A, Alanah, Rhys, Daniel, Sophie S, Jacob, Annalise and Jasmine. Good work. +2 HPs each.
Spellings for after half-term break (hard C / soft C):
bicycle - I want to ride my bicycle.
caught - We caught three salmon when we went fishing.
centre - Can we go to the shopping centre tomorrow?
certain - Be certain to study over the half-term break.
particular - We need a particular part to fix the car.
sentence - I have written a boring sentence.
recent - Our recent travel fair went extremely well.
peculiar - I heard a peculiar sound in the distance.
decide - You decide the decisions you make.
circle - A circle is a 2-D shape.
These spellings will be tested once we're back from half-term break. Therefore, you've got an extra week to study them!
The Good Work Award this week went to Victoria for showing persistence with learning her times tables.
The Good Behaviour Award this week went to Jasmine for using good teamwork skills.
The Class DOJO Winner this week was Daniel.
Well done all of you. +5 HPs each!
We also won the Best Attendance Award and Class of the Week Award. Woohoo! What a great week it has been. Let's carry this awesomeness forward into the next half-term!
Homework for over half-term is another arithmetic assessment. This is similar to the weekly assessments we do. The only difference is that you need to show the inverse for each question too. Obviously only do the inverse for the questions it makes sense for.
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable half-term break. Be sure to read and record in your yellow log book, study those times tables and study those spellings. Make sure you have your PE kit in class everyday too. As the weather becomes better, please ensure you put some sunscreen on in the mornings before coming to school.
Have a great half-term break everyone!
