A special well done to these children!
This week, Rock has been the genre of music the children have entered into class with. Foo Fighters seem to have been the most popular rock band, judging by the head banging I witnessed!
Monday formed the Launch Day for our new topic – My Region and the Western USA - quite a wordy title, but we will predominantly be looking at rivers and mountains, comparing the two regions with a geography base. On this day, all the children participated in a workshop -style session, learning skills that will enable the new topic to be a success.
Multiplication methods continue in Maths – but we are nearing the end of this super long (and super important) unit; moving onto division next week.
In English, we have begun to research information to be able to write non chronological reports. We have each chosen a city or town that has been twinned with Leeds and we are finding all about similarities and differences between the two places. It is very interesting.
In Art this term, we are looking at US artists and their work.
PE continues to be Tag Rugby. The children work extremely well in these sessions and give their all at all times. Please note, the days to wear PE kit for Oak this term, are Thursdays and Fridays.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend – some of you will probably be listening to children learning lines for our production of The Wizard of Oz. The children have until half term to learn all their lines and cues – they are all so very keen, which is marvellous.
Homework is Maths, Grammar and Spellings – words with the suffix -ship
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
