Hello,
This week, we have been focusing on writing our Autumn themed simile poems and the children have done a brilliant job with them. It was a lovely piece of work to finish with before the half-term holiday.
In maths, we have been focusing on adding and subtracting 1,10,100 and 1000 from different numbers and also focusing on solving word problems around this as well. We have had a real focus on the mathematical vocabulary that can help identify whether it is an addition or subtraction question or both. We have also been having more practise time on TT Rockstars to help the children to keep practising their timetables. The children also completed another practise MTC test and it's lovely to see their scores improving since September.
For computing, the children also had a lesson focused on debugging. their task was to identify the problem with the code that had been written for the sprites, and to provide a solution to fix it. The children were amazing, it was so lovely to see how confident they were with identifying and solving the issues that were presented. Well done!
The children who were interested in becoming School Council members also presented their posters to the class and spoke about the qualities that would make them an ideal person for the role. Every child then voted for who they wanted and it resulted in Stanley being elected. Well done! I know you'll do a great job!
Have a lovely week off and stay safe :)
Mr Kyriacou :)
