This week in maths we have been learning about division. Children revised how to do division mentally and formally. Children know the terms: divisor, dividend and quotient. Homework this week is further practise using the formal method of division. Be sure to try some of your own questions on the back to show me you know your stuff!
In English, we have been looking at persuasive writing. Children wrote a persuasive text about zoos with their table partner after having a class debate. Children know how a debate is carried out and know the terms argument and rebuttal. Later in the week, children wrote their own persuasive text. They chose one of three topics: why energy drinks should be banned, why speed limits on our roads are needed or why children need to brush their teeth. Children had all sorts of feelings on these topics and were eager to write them down!
In topic, children added pictures to their branching tree diagram they created last week. They look quite good now! You can check these out at home on Purple Mash.
In PE, we have been taking passing and dribbling skills in basketball. This week we moved on to bumping and volleying skills for volleyball! We'll continue with this next week.
Top Spellers this week were: Sophie S, Jasmine, Daniel, Ellie, Eve H, Rhys, Ajay, Logan, James and Eve A. Well done! +2 HPs each!
Spellings for this week (word from statutory word list):
describe - Make sure you describe your setting fully.
exercise - Get plenty of exercise to help stay healthy.

The Good Work Award this week went to Rhys for his excellent mental division.
The Good Behaviour Award this week went to Harry for showing good persistence with his maths and English.
The Class DOJO Winner this week was Eve A.

Have a great weekend everyone!
