English: We have done some grammar work this week on using the possessive apostrophe. We have done this for singular and plural nouns. The children have also been set the task of designing a new set of chocolates for Mr Wonka’s factory to produce. They have done some research into the different types of chocolate as well as finding out the kinds of things they will need to include on their packaging. We will link this to some advertising work after Easter as well as to our D&T work.
Maths: We have continued our work on place value with the children identifying the value of each digit in a 3 (year 3’s) and 4 (year 4’s) digit number. We have used this knowledge to begin to solve more complex problems and have applied it to addition and subtraction problems.
Science: This week we have learned about the scientific processes of evaporation, condensation and melting. We observed these processes in an investigation and then made observational drawings.
RE: We have been reminding ourselves of the Easter story through reading the Bible and watching video clips from The Miracle Maker.
Other activities this week have included practising for Celebration Assembly, making Easter cards and the whole school marathon.
Homework: The children have not been given homework today – they will be set a piece of Maths and English homework to complete over the Easter holidays which will be given out next Tuesday.
