Week of 22.04.25
End of our second week already! Mocks Week this week, our final practice before the SATs. GPS, Comprehension and Maths…all done. We look forward to seeing the results next week and going through all the papers to see how we’ve done and work out what we need to revise in the coming weeks.
The week started with a great treat on Monday, watching the Y3/4 performance of Mary Poppins, we loved it!
The week ended with some sunshine, which allowed us to get outside for PE and a netball match, great fun. Let’s hope this is the start of warmer weather, have a great weekend everyone.
Week of 15.04.24
What a lovely first week back, although it's hard to belive that we are already in Summer Term! This week saw a real emphasis on Geography as we finished off our topic on North America and South America. The focus in North America was on topographical features: the Missouri river, mountain ranges and deserts. We then looked at South America and learned the countries that make up this continent and learned their capital cities. The children have really enjoyed this topic but are equally looking forwrad to our next topic: Beliefs.
In Maths, we looked at 2D and 3D shapes and also Statistics, and how we represent data using pie charts, line graphs and bar charts. We will continue to work on this area of Maths next week, deepening our problem solving skills.
We have come to the end of our Science topic on Light and looked at reflection and how this can help us see objects that we might not otherwise be able to see, for example, how soldiers were able to see above the trenches in WW1. They used periscopes and we made our own and could stay in the classroom, and using a periscope, see what was happening in the corridor!
Next week is Mocks Week, our final round of tests before the SATs in May. we know that the children will try their very best, stay positive and have a growth mindset.
