DT - We will be learning about mechanisms used during the Industrial Revolution.
Computing - How we can change and improve a google doc.
7-11 September
I have been very impressed with the way the children have settled down into the new routine of our day at school. Everyone worked really hard. Well done everyone.
This week we will begin our Maths, English and curriculum lessons.
Maths will be work related to place value, year 4 to 1000 and year 5 to 10000.
The book we will be using for English is 'The Matchbox Diary' by Paul Fleischman.
In art the children will be creating their own self-portrait and in history we will begin our learning about the Industrial Revolution and later linking this to our local history.
Don't forget to have your reading record and book in school everyday. Have your book signed by and adult each day. The star readers for the newsletter start again this week.
PE is on Monday, remember to come to school in your outdoor PE kit.
Some of our work this week and the book we read about being brave
We look forward to learning and having fun together in September.
