Team 4 Wb 17.3.25

Date: 19th Mar 2025 @ 7:00pm

What another busy week we have had in Team 4!

In our English learning this week, we have been busy writing our letters from space back to planet Earth. In these letters, we wrote about what the journey through space was like, what we saw and then what Mars was like when we landed on it. We then edited these letters before finally publishing them ready to be sent off to the writing competition. 

In our spelling work this week, we explored the ending -sure. We looked at a range of words that contain this sound and then practiced spelling them. You can support this learning at home by practicing the following words with your child:

  • Measure
  • Pleasure
  • Treasure
  • Leisure

In our math's work this week, we started a new unit all about time. We explored the difference between am and pm and then we practiced writing a range of given times on an analogue clock. We also completed our weekly times table test. 

In our afternoon learning, we continued learning songs and chords in music, in French we continued learning a range of new phrases and words and then in PE we explored a range of bridges in our gymnastics unit. In our geography learning, we began researching the following question: Is Europe the same all over? We looked at a range of different countries in Europe and what the landscape was like in each.

A couple of reminders for the week ahead:

We have started a TT Rockstars battle with Team 6. Please encourage your child to log onto TT Rockstars regularly to help us win!

Please ensure that reading records and books are brought in on Monday ready to be swapped/checked. Please ensure that your child has logged five reads for the week gone in their record.

We have our violin performance on Monday at 2.30pm in the hall. We hope you can join us. Once the performance has finished, you are more than welcome to take your child home to save you waiting around until 3.15pm.

On Thursday we have our Horn's Mill Has Got Talent auditions in the afternoon. Due to this, we won't be doing PE this week and instead will be doing a double session the following week. Please send your child into school in their normal school uniform on Thursday this week.

On Friday we have a non-uniform day. In exchange, children are asked to bring in an Easter hamper raffle donation.

Mouse Mania this Friday with Mrs Caroe is bikes and scooters. Please ensure that your child wears a helmet if they wish to participate. Please note, we also ask that electric scooters are not brought in.

Have a lovely weekend all!
