Firstly, I would like to start this week’s blog post with a thank you to all the parents and guardians who came to parents evening this week. It was a real pleasure to share the children’s work and achievements with you.

We started the week by taking part in a Roman workshop led by master story teller Matthew Bellwood. We acted out different Roman scenes from battling in the amphitheatres to then taking a walk down a Roman high street. The experience really helped consolidate a lot of our previous learning as well as teaching us so many intriguing facts. The day after we gathered all the information on to a piece of flipchart paper as you can see we learnt so much we ran out of space.

We have started our new writing topic – which is focusing on informal letters. We started to learn a letter written by Willy Wonka and used our story map as well as actions to bring it to life. Next week, we will be looking at letter structures and beginning to plan our own.

In Maths, we have been working on round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000. Initially, some of the children found this difficult but through lots of practice and plenty of perseverance we managed to grasp the key concepts. We also created the rhyme ‘5 or more, raise the score’ to help us remember that numbers from 5 or above are rounded up.

Our TTrockstar of the week is Lukas and our Lexia legend is Tahha. A special mention also goes to Tahha and Zara who brought in books for our weekly book club. Tahha chose a Ben Ten book and Zara chose 13-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton.
