This week in maths, we spent some time learning how to tell the time! Children went over how to tell the time on analogue clocks and digital clocks. Several need much more practise with all forms of time, so, parents/guardians, any time you get at home to reinforce these skills would be useful. Children also learned how to convert between 12h and 24h digital times. Here is a website with some games to help you practise these skills further: Time Games.
In English, children focused on clauses. No, not The Clauses, they're busy preparing for later on in the year. Main clauses and subordinate clauses were learned, which allowed them to understand the three main sentence types: simple sentences, compound sentences and complex sentences. Homework this week is further practise writing sentences using subordinate clauses in different places. Lastly, children also revised and wrote out the good copy of their letter replies to their pen pals in Canada.
In topic, children started their Roman presentation research and PowerPoint. We'll continue with these next week, with hopes of presenting them towards the end of the week or early the week after.
Top Spellers this week (Latin Prefixes) were: Ellie-Mae, Euan, Amy, Emmi, Corey, Gracie, Scarlett S, Cerys and Harvey. Well done to you all. +2 HPs each.
Spellings for next week (more Latin prefixes):
grat- = pleasing
trans- = across
loca- = having place
proxi- = nearest
Words that use these Latin prefixes will be asked as before, so be sure to look up several and study carefully!
The Good Work Award this week went to Scarlett Smith for improving her group work skills.
The Good Behaviour Award this week went to Amilia for blocking out distraction better during lessons.
The Class DOJO Winner this week was a draw, so we'll carry the points over to next week.
Good job to you all, +5HPs each.
Remember to read and record in your reading record at least three times per week. Also be sure to study your spellings and times tables.
A special mention to one of our class who is moving house and therefore having to move schools. All the best to Olivia! Do us proud!
Have a great long weekend everyone! Be sure to get outside and enjoy the nice weather!
