Our first full week back in school has been super busy! This week in maths we reviewed place value and the mental and formal methods of addition and subtraction. In English, we started our novel study: The Witches by Roald Dahl! The children seem really into the book so far and with good reason, it's good! We have hopes of finishing the book by the end of next week which will coincide with Roald Dahl Week at the school (actual Roald Dahl day is on the 13th September). Beyond starting our novel study, children planned and wrote a recount text about their summer holidays. Everyone noted how much fun they had during the six weeks off and some even got to visit different countries.
We also started our topic, The Ancient Greeks. The children wrote out questions they are interested in finding answers to and we also labelled a map with some important cities, features and seas related to Ancient Greece.
Our first spelling test was a massive success with 16 children scoring 10/10! Well done Erin, Matthew, Archie, Millie, Lucy, Grace, Jaclyn, Jasmin, Tom, Brooke, Dominic, Sophie, Ellie E, Layla, Ella and Alfie! +2HPs for each.
We had other notable achievements this week also. Cuba was awarded the Excellent Behaviour Award while Joshua was awarded the Excellent Work Award. That's not it either as our class won the Best Attendance Award also! Woohoo, go Year 4!
Our class DOJO winner for the week was Cuba. You've certainly had a good week Cuba! +10HPs for you.
