Phonics

This week we have revised the phonemes/ graphemes ai, ee, igh and oa. The tricky word is some. Can your child think of a sentence with this word in?

Maths

The children have enjoyed investigating mass this week. They have learnt how to use scales and had fun weighing lots of objects. They have been using the language – heavy and light. The human balance scales were lots of fun!

Bedtime Story Evening

We hope you all enjoyed our Bedtime Story Evening. It was great fun!

World Book Day Fun!

We enjoyed an assembly with Wendy from Truman Books and spent time with our Year 4 Reading Buddies. We also designed a book token for a national competition – we hope we have a winner! We had a lovely day sharing books.

Secret Readers

Thank you to all our ‘Secret Readers’. The children are enjoying listening to lots of different stories. If you or a family member would like to be a ‘Secret Reader’ please email your child’s teacher and we can arrange a time.

Shrove Tuesday

We learnt about why some families celebrate Shrove Tuesday. We then had much fun making our own delicious pancakes. We used weighing scales and followed instructions on how to make them. We also chose our own toppings and made a class tally chart for our favourite pancake topping. We enjoyed listening to pancake stories too!

Have a lovely weekend.
