What a lovely week we have had… we continued to look at extreme sports and evaluate different article layouts to prepare ourselves for writing our First News style article/report as well as practise our sentence structures to present our information about our chosen sports. In Maths we continued with our formal written methods in multiplication and division and applying our strategies to solve multi-step problems. RE saw us depicting the four parts of the Easter Vigil and in History we travelled along the Nile where the children created an annotated map of why the Nile was so important to the Ancient Egyptians.
Reminders:
- Homework has been given out and stuck in the children’s’ home learning book. It is due in as usual on a Thursday (6th May).
- A book review is due in Thursday 6th May.
- Chichester Harbour trip letter has been sent home this week (please check bags). Dates and details of the cost of the trip are on the letter. You can pay on SCOPAY or send money in with your child.
- PE day – Wednesday 5th May.
- Please ensure your child has a coat/jacket/rainmac in with them if the weather is forecast for rain as we will send the children out in light rain so that they are able to play and get fresh air. Some children were caught out on Wednesday this week when the rain appeared for lunchtime. Thank you.
Enjoy your spring bank holiday weekend and we will see the children back in school on Tuesday 4th May.
