Class 4 Update

English

This week Class 4 have been learning about the features of biographies and autobiographies.  They have also looked at different word endings, many of which are in their spellings this week. The children are also practising varying the types of sentences they use in their writing.

Maths

In Maths Class 4 have been practising different methods of subtraction.  They enjoyed making ‘maths museums’ one day to show us what they know already.

Science

The children are continuing to enjoy the electricity topic.  They have tested a range of materials to see which ones conduct electricity.  I also set them the challenge this week of making their own buzzer games!

Geography

The children finished their maps of the school grounds.  We explored Shrewsbury using Google Maps this week in readiness for our visit there next Wednesday.  The children used the computers to make their own maps of Shrewsbury, adding images and text boxes of points of interest.

ICT

The children have been exploring the Purple Mash games and activities.

We are looking forward to you seeing all the exciting work they have been doing when we see you at Parent’s Evening soon.

Class 4 Homework

In Maths we have been revising and practising methods for addition and subtraction. This week we have looked at different methods for subtraction, including counting up on a number line and using the more formal column methods. We have also talked about which methods we are more confident with and which methods are more efficient for different types of questions.

Please ensure children complete their homework by Monday so that it can be marked and new homework stuck in before it is due to be sent out again next Wednesday.

Class 4 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

In English we have been looking at different types of clauses within sentences, including relative and embedded clauses.

We expect that all children complete some homework each week. Children can complete the activity independently or with your support and choose which questions they would like to do.

If any children feel that they would like an extra challenge, they should speak to an adult in Class 4, and we will happily send additional homework out.

Please ensure homework is returned by Monday so that it can be marked and new homework stuck in before it is due to be sent out again.

We thank you for your support with this.

Kind regards,

Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Foster

Class 4 update

English

In English we have been working on the ‘Just So’ stories by Rudyard Kipling.  Today we began planning ideas for our own Just So stories ready for writing them next week.

Maths

The children have been learning about decimal numbers and how to order them, place them correctly on number lines and understand the effect of multiplying or dividing them by 10 and 100.

Geography

Following our walk around Bicton last week we focussed on map skills this lesson.  The children worked really hard to produce maps of the school grounds using aerial photographs.

Linked to this, in Art the children have been collaging pictures of things that they see on their journey to school using a variety of materials.

Science

Continuing with their work on electricity, the children made their own circuits this week and learnt how to draw circuit diagrams.  They also had to test a variety of circuits to see if they worked or not and make predictions about what might happen each time.

Maths Games!

Some of the children in Class 4 have been using their knowledge of place-value of decimal numbers and multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 today to come up with their own Maths game. They worked really hard and came up with some fantastic ideas. They then showed other children in the class how to play them.

Class 4 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

Over the past few weeks we have been looking at classic fiction in English. We have read extracts from The Jungle Book and some of the Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling.

We are sending out homework tonight on the subject of classic fiction that is set according to children’s end of year expectations. We expect that all children complete some homework each week. Children can read the text independently or with your support and then choose which questions they would like to do.

If any children feel that they would like an extra challenge, they should speak to an adult in Class 4, and we will happily send additional homework out.

Homework this year will be sent home in a homework book on a Wednesday and should be returned to school by the following Monday. This is so that it can be marked and new homework stuck in before it is due to be sent out again.

We thank you for your support with this.

Kind regards,

Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Foster

Oswestry School’s Primary Maths Challenge 2016

A huge well done to the Year 5 and 6 children who took part in the Primary Maths Challenge at Oswestry School on Wednesday afternoon. They had some pretty tricky problems to solve and Mrs Roberts was very impressed with their perseverance and, most importantly, independence.  The team came 4th out of the 9 schools competing and were only 5 points behind the 3rd-placed team.
