Yesterday, we spent some time trying to do some redrafting with our independent write. This is a skill we find quite tricky but we showed more perseverance then we have done previously. This is a skill we will continue to develop as we move through year 4 so we are ready for year 5.
TTRS battle in KS2
Our timestable rockstar day ended with quite the battle! Crews battled against each other to gather points in the hope their crew would make it to the final! There was great encouragement by all and it was lovely to see the improvements in our timestable knowledge! A big well done to everyone that took part 🙂 A big shout out to Crew Boswell who made it to the final! And to the 2 children who beat Mrs Ibbotson!
Communication is key 🔑
In Scotty’s, the children continued to work on their communication. One partner was blind folded and directed to pick up cones. At the end the points were added together to see the winning team.
TTRS Battle
This week, we competed in another TTRS batter. Lovely to see the children dressed up as Rockstars.
Designing a Christmas Card – SYP
Scotty’s Heroes
This week’s session was enjoyed by all. The children started off playing games to get them warmed up which was evident when all their coats came off despite the cold weather.
They then had to work in pair to give each other instructions while one of them wore a blindfold. Have you ever tried walking in a straight line with your eyes closed? It’s not as easy as you’d think which was why clear communication between partners was vital.
Who were the Celts?
This week, we wrapped up our history case study by learning more about the Celts who occupied Britain before the Romans invaded.
We found how they lived very interesting.
New reading text
This week, we discovered our new reading text for this half term linked to our expedition. Lots of children excited to see what happens and learn more.
What makes me a good friend?
This week, we have been discussing the qualities that make us a good friend. Children shared with their peers how they were good friends to others. Lovely to hear them saying they are helpful, kind, thoughtful and considerate towards others.
