We have begun our new novel study of ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ by Michael Morpurgo.  The children have written diary entries as the main character.  This week we are focussing on what life is like on a yacht.  The children will be writing ‘A survival guide for life at sea’ next week.

In maths the children have enjoyed learning about Roman numerals.  We are now going to be doing some work on the place value of decimal numbers.

In Science we have looked closely at flowering plants and their parts and done some water colour paintings of tulips.  This week Class 4 began their ‘River Rangers’ work with the Shropshire Wildlife Trust.  This will continue for 3 more weeks.  This week they learnt all about water as a precious resource.

In Geography the children have made models of the water cycle and they are going to be researching coastlines next week and doing some map work.

Class 4 will be going to the woods near school tomorrow for an exciting activity to launch our new novel.  As the weather forecast is not brilliant, it would be helpful if children could bring suitable outdoor footwear e.g. wellies/walking boots, and a coat.

Thank you!
