Week 5: WC: 30.9.24

Wow, where is this term going?!

The children have impressed all the adults in both classes this week with their attitudes and work ethic in all subjects. In Maths, the teachers have challenged the children in TTRS to beat them! the children have loved the competitiveness of learning their time tables and beating Mr Lenton-Boon and Mr Bishop. In Science, the children learnt about the food groups and the types of food that belong in each group. We challenged the children to see if their dinners this week contained some of these groups..... We heard about some lovely food choices. 

The children have started practicing their Harvest festival assemblies this week. We can not wait to show off our singing, acting and poems. We hope you can all make it :) 

Week 4: WC: 23.9.24

In Year 3 maths this week the children played a dice game called 'dotty 6'. The children enjoyed being competitive against a learning partner and using their maths knowledge to support them. 

In English this week we have been working hard to identify clauses, subjects and verbs.

Week 3: W/C: 16.9.24.

The children have been working hard this week in both classes. They have shown excellent attitude and hard work aligning with the expectations that we expect in year 3/4. The children have been encouraged to become more independent with their learning when it comes to making decisions that will support progress in their learning. 

This week, we welcomed a cricket coach from Cambridgeshire county cricket board. We learnt about the discipline of fielding and played lots of fun skill games to improve our skills. We are excited to be taking part in the cricket sessions until October half term on a Wednesday afternoon. 

Also this week, we started our Science unit focusing on Animals including humans. We learnt how many bones are in the human body and the names of these bones. Please take time at home this week to quiz the children on the bones. 

In English, We are continuing to learn about the basics of grammar. We focused on verbs this week and the children all did brilliantly to identify regular and irregular verbs. 

Swimming will be taking place for Year 4 every Tuesday until October half term.
