It has been a fantastic first full week back in 4DA!

We kicked started our first writing topic this week by learning the text “Keep off the Tracks”. The students have shown a huge amount of enthusiasm when learning the text and definitely helped me out when I forgot the words..

Our maths topic has continued to look at the place value of numbers. We have spent the week partitioning and flexibly partitioning numbers up to 10,000 and spent plenty of time practicing our times tables. I am already blown away with the early progress and the amount of correct answers on TT Rockstars!

In the afternoons, we started our Romans topic by exploring the myth of Romulus and Remus. The myth explains how Rome was originally founded, nearly 3,000 years ago. 4DA were also introduced to one of my favourite PE games, “Crossover Ball” (in-between fire alarms). I was incredibly impressed with not only the skills on show, but the teamwork, togetherness and positive attitudes throughout the lesson.

Have a super weekend, everyone!

We have had a fantastic first week in 4DA! I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone and getting ourselves back into our daily routines. 

The children have been working incredibly hard in many different subject areas. In our English sessions, we have been learning ‘The Book’ by Michael Rosen. I have been blow away by the children’s enthusiasm and ability to learn the poem so quickly. Within our Maths learning we have been looking at place value by using base ten to create 3-digit numbers.  

A couple of key things moving forward: P.E. will take place on Fridays so the children will be able to come into school wearing their P.E. kits. Reading scheme books will be given out next week and we will be expecting the children to read at least three times every week.

I hope everyone has a brilliant weekend!
