Team 4 Wb 25.11.24

Date: 29th Nov 2024 @ 5:17pm

What another busy week we have had in Team 4!

In our English learning this week, we have been busy writing a section of Odysseus’s adventures and describing his thoughts and feelings upon seeing a mythical creature. We described how he would have been feeling and used this as an opportunity to apply previously taught writing skills. We then created our very own mythological creatures to include in our own stories next week.

In spelling this week, we looked at words with the /sh/ sound spelt ‘ch’. You could help reinforce this learning at home by practicing the following words with your child:

Chef

Machine

Brochure

Parachute

In our math’s learning, we concluded our learning all about division. We explored how we could use practical apparatus to help us to calculate division answers with remainders and we also spent time working on learning how to solve a range of word problems.

In our afternoon learning, we enjoyed our visit to the Roman Museum. We got to try on Roman soldier armour and explore a range of artefacts. We then also completed market research by walking around Chester Christmas Markets to gather ideas for our very own markets later this half term. In art, we continued designing the front covers of our Christmas books and in history we learnt who the Ancient Greeks were and some key events/dates in this ancient civilisation’s history.

Reminders for next week:

Next week we will be completing some reading assessments. As a result of this, we won’t change reading books until Friday once the assessments have been completed. Please ensure that your child brings in their reading record and book on Friday to be checked/swapped.

This Thursday will be our final swimming session of Team 4. Please ensure that your child brings in a coat, towel and their swimming items on this day.

Mouse Mania on Friday will be craft making in preparation for our upcoming Christmas Markets. Your child does not need to bring anything in for this.

Please remember to encourage your child to log on to TT Rockstars each day for 15 minutes as we are currently in a battle with Team 5.

Have a wonderful weekend Team 4!

Mr Lawrie and Mrs Caroe
