Well we've enjoyed our week of being transition class and sitting on the benches in assembly. Well done Year 5 for showing everyone how to walk around school in the correct way. I wonder if we've done enough to win it for next week too.
We had some very enthusiastic mathematicians taking part in our TTRS competition. Jamaine, Frankie and Krzysztof enjoyed the disco with their friends and the other winners. Well done to everyone who practiced and who has worked hard to improve their speed and accuracy. Just because the competition is over, doesn't mean that time on TTRS should stop! We'd love for all of our children to become rockstars and answer multiplication and division questions in under 3 seconds.
We're whizzing through our maths unit on perimeter and area and will soon be moving on to another multiplication and division unit. These will all need children to be spot on with their times tables so keep on practicing on TTRS. This week's homework is to calculate the perimeter of some shapes. Four children have completed their homework already - well done!
We had a whopping 14 children who got full marks on their spelling test this week. The next set of spellings have silent letters too. It's difficult as there is no rule to follow - you just have to know! There are games on Spelling Shed as usual but you can also follow this link to find some more games with a greater range of words - https://www.spellzone.com/unit22/page2.cfm.
We've taken a break from our science work on space to look at forces, in particular gravity. We had fun this week measuring gravity using force meters. Next week, we'll be back to learning a bit more about the Earth, sun and moon. Earlier in the term, children bought home a moon diary and were asked to record how the moon changes over time. I hope lots of the children have been doing this. If not, there is still time as we have over a week before I'd like the children to bring their sheets back to school. I wonder if anyone has spotted a pattern?
