Week Commencing: 11.09.23

We have had a very productive week in Class 4/5. We have started our science unit for this half term which is based on teeth and the digestive system. For our first lesson in the unit, we explored different types of teeth and their purpose – something the children really enjoyed. In maths, Year 4 have been looking at flexibly partitioning numbers up to 10,000, whereas Year 5 have been comparing and ordering numbers up to one million.  In English, we are really enjoying our text ‘Street Child’ and getting to know our main character (Jim) ahead of writing in the role of him in the next coming weeks.  

Week Commencing 04.09.23

It has been full steam ahead this week in Class 4/5! In English we have started our new text ‘Street Child’ which is set in Victorian London. We have been focusing on the VIPERS (our reading skills) linked with the text and the children have provided some very well thought out ideas. In maths, we are all focusing on place value and the children have blown me away with their prior knowledge. As it has been art week in school, we have spent our afternoons drawing and sketching facial parts ahead of producing our own portraits in the style of Pablo Picasso. It has been lovely to welcome back the Year 5s and also get to know the Year 4s – I think we are going to have a fabulous year!
