Following interviews for Mrs Chadwick’s position, we are very pleased to have appointed Miss Eleanor Carr who will be teaching Class 4 alongside Mrs Foster after half-term. The children in Class 4 enjoyed a Maths lesson with Miss Carr earlier this month and she will be spending time in Class 4 to get to know the children before we break up.

Many thanks

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.
