Our learning this week:
Having all recovered from our fabulous trip last week, the children have settled back in well to their learning. We have also been very impressed with the respect shown by both classes to the Year 6 cohort during their end of KS2 SATs assessment week. The children were both quiet and patient whilst these tests were going on ensuring a calm environment for the year 6’s. Well done!
Maths: This week. we have focussed further on decimals, dividing by 10 and 100, making a whole with both hundredths and tenths as well as partitioning decimals towards the end of the week.
English: After spending time at the end of last week looking through photos and talking about the residential, the children planned and wrote a recount of their trip, focussing on interesting sentence starters and extending their sentences using conjunctions.
Art
The children had a fabulous day creating collages based on the art of Pablo Picasso and Brianna McCarthy. Pictures to follow.
Computing
Both classes have had lots of fun programming and coding the Microbits. They learned how to create thermometers and step counters and playing ‘duck swipe’. If you don’t know what that is, ask your child!

Maths: NEW ADDITION TO HOMEWORK: In addition to the Garage and Soundcheck sessions set, please complete 3 rounds in the Studio setting. https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school.
