w/e 15th May 2015

This week in English we have been reading The Diary of Wombat by Jackie French. We talked about where wombat's come from and the children went on holiday to Australia. They have been introduced to verbs as the term for action or 'doing' words and have looked at how this changes the spelling of a word, for example: wait - waited, surf - surfed, walk - walked. They will finish the week by writing a postcard to tell us all about their 'holiday' and what they did. In maths we have been learning about multiplication. The children have been looking at how to create 'lots of' amounts in order to complete calculations and remembering to focus on the first number being the number of piles or 'lots' required. We are having an RE day this Friday, and will be learning all about Hinduism and how it compares and contrasts to Christianity. In PE , the children are continuing to learn the welly beat dance ahead of our whole school performance later this term. Thank you to everyone who has returned their permission slips for the Gressenhall trip - if you have not yet done so, please can you give these to your class teacher by 29th May.
