Team 4 Wb 10.3.25

What another busy week we have had in Team 4!

In our English learning this week, we have been writing our very own letters reporting back to earth about what travelling through space is like. We then detailed what landing on the planet Mars felt like in preparation to describe what the surface of Mars looks like next week. This piece of writing will then be proof read, edited and submitted to a local writing competition which we hope one of our children will win!

In our spelling work this week, we have been looking at the prefixes –un, -in, -dis or –mis. We have explored how the meaning of root words are changed when these prefixes are added. You can support this learning at home by practicing the following words at home with your child:

Misbehave

Disagree

Misplace

Inhuman

Mismatch

In our math’s work this week, we have been learning how we can break down a whole and then subtract different fractional amounts from it before simplifying the answer. We applied this learning to a range of word problems and real life contexts to help embed our knowledge and understanding of this concept.

In our times table work, we have been revisiting the six times tables. To help us rapidly recall this times table, we have been listening to this song (click here). You can help your child with this times table by listening to this song with them in the car or at home and singing it along with them.

In our afternoon learning, we have been conducting our science week learning exploring slinkys and how energy is transferred through them. We explored different slinky made out of different materials and in different shapes and then had a go at creating our very own.

Reminders for next week

On Monday, please ensure that your child brings in their reading record and book ready to be swapped. Please also ensure that they have logged five reads in their record for the week gone.

Parents evening meetings are being held on Monday and Thursday. Please ensure that you have booked an appointment online via School Spider. If you are joining via Zoom, the meeting details will be sent out on Monday morning and will be the same for both Monday and Thursday appointments.

On Friday, we have the annual Cross Country race at Delamere Forest. Please see the information sent by Mrs Wyatt for details.

Mouse Mania on Friday is Art Afternoon so the children do not need to bring anything in.

Have a lovely weekend Team 4!

Mr L and Mrs Caroe
