Happy New Year and welcome back! This week it has been lovely to catch up with all the children and hear their holiday news. It had also been wonderful to have Tess join our class. The children have been very welcoming so she is settling in well.😄
This Week's Learning
In English the children have been learning all about play scripts. The children practised and then performed a short play of Jack and the Bean Stalk. Today they have written a character description of the giant.
During topic we noted down what we already knew and what we want to find out. We also started to think about how the world would be effected of there were no Rainforests.
The kids were really excited to find out that we will be learning about plants in our science lessons this term. We started off by learning about the different types of root and their function. The kids looked at roots through microscopes and magnifying glasses and made a scientific diagram.
Next Week's Learning
In English the children will continue to learn about play scripts and look at the key feature in preparation to write their own playscript.
In topic they will find out the location of different rainforests around the world and learn a bit more about adaptation.
In Science they will learn about the function of the leaf.
Arts Festival
The children were so pleased to see all their lovely work on display and enjoyed looking at other children's art around the school. If you have not had an opportunity to look at the Art you are welcome to come in on Thursday morning to look at the year 4 work with your child. If you plan to come in, please hang around while we get the register done. Thanks again to all the lovely parents who came in to help. Those sock sloths were nearly the end of me!
