Welcome back after what was a beautiful bank holiday weekend – We hope that all the children had a restful Easter break.  They have certainly returned ready to work.  We have all been very impressed with the way the children have returned to their learning.

During our English lessons this week we have been completing our Roman adventure stories.  The children have been trying to include a range of fronted adverbials, exciting vocabulary and possessive apostrophes.  We have been doing lots of editing along the way and so are looking forward to publishing our stories next week.

Maths – We have been learning about the different types of angles – acute, obtuse and right angles.  The children created ‘stickman’ during their lessons and had to identify the angles that they could see.  This would be a fun activity to try for home learning.  They could try drawing a ‘stick house’ and try and identify the angles.  They could even just look around their environment and try and identify the different angles.

N.B: acute (smaller than a right angle), obtuse (larger than a right angle).

We also had chance to direct a ‘beebot’ around a route on the computers.  The children had to use their knowledge of right angle turns to help the beebots negotiate the routes.

Next week we will be publishing our writing and starting our new writing unit.  In Maths, it’s time for time! Get ready to read some clocks and solve problems around time.

Have a great weekend.

Regards
