Welcome to Meadow 4!
Welcome back everybody. I hope you all had a restful half term break and are now ready for the half term ahead.
Firstly, a gentle reminder about the extreme reader competition. Entries in by the 1st March please as with the book cover competition. World book day is Thursday 7th March, come dressed as a word!
Thank you to everyone who managed to come in this morning and work with their child in writing an opening for a scary story. They were brilliant!
It really helped the children with the hardest part of writing the story, the start! We are looking forward to sharing the finished pieces with you soon and hope you will be quaking in your boots as you read them!
Have a lovely half term everyone and thank you for your continual support.
Today was National Safer Internet Day. The children have spent time in class, discussing and learning about how to stay safe online. The main focus of our learning has been the importance of talking to a trusted grown-up if the children come across anything they don’t like or are unsure of online. We have also looked at our SMART rules for using digital devices and the internet and the different places we can go for help. Ask your child at home about what they can remember about our discussion and for any further information or guidance about staying safe online or Safer Internet Day please visit https://www.saferinternetday.org
Following on from the fun we had on number day we have been playing mathopoly. This is just like monopoly with chance cards and challenge cards, however to gain points, not money, we have to complete multiplication and division calculations. The first one to 100 wins!
Today was number day!
Thank you to everyone who came dressed up as a number! We had a great time playing number games and making up our own. We are all indeed number champions!
This week in our literacy sessions we were looking at rhyming. So we decided to make a class rhyming poem about our literacy text, “When the Mountains Roared.” We then put it to drumming patterns. It was really good fun.
In our literacy sessions we have been looking at the features of a non chronological text. We have been using what we’ve learnt to create interesting animal reports. The children have really enjoyed finding out strange and exciting facts about their animal. The animals were chosen from ones mentioned in our current literacy text. Take a look at what we’ve done.
Our home learning leaflet is now on the website or take a look here for some ideas. We look forward to seeing what you all create.
Welcome back everyone, I hope you all had a really good break and spent time with family and friends.
This term we will be exploring the topic, “India.” We shall be using the book “When the Mountains Roared,” by Jess Butterworth for the stimulus for all of our literacy work.
We will also be developing our geography skills, finding India on a world map as well as finding major rivers, cities and land forms. In art we will be exploring pattern and in dance we will be trying out Bhangra dancing. In science , states of matter will be explored. We have a lot to look forward too. It’s going to be an exciting term!
Wow, what a talented bunch you all are! You really entertained the whole school this morning with your singing, dancing and joke telling. You need to all feel very proud of yourselves. And not forgetting a special well done to our fabulous hosts, Nylah and Mary.
