Hello everyone!

We hope that you are keeping well and safe. The children have had another busy week!

In Maths, we have been exploring fractions and finding the amount of three digit numbers using non-units. Next week, we will begin to add and subtract improper fractions and mixed numbers. In English this week, we have started our new unit ‘Jemmy Button’. This is about a young native boy from South America who was invited to England in the hopes he would be civilised. We have been comparing city life to jungle life and generating metaphors to use in our final writes. Next week we will infer Jemmy’s feelings and start to plan our recount.

Last Friday it was Geography day! Here we studied how volcanoes were formed. The children took part in an erupting experiment and explored the causes of the eruption. We then travelled back in time to Pompeii where we studied artefacts and made predictions about what happened. Later in the day, the children compared different volcanoes and discussed the positive and negative effects on the environment.

We hope that you all have a lovely weekend, please ensure that you complete your home learning for spellings and your yellow reading journal. Also please send your child into school with the correct PE kit on Thursday.

Take care everyone,

From Miss Honeywell, Miss Jackson-Nash and Miss Hawley
