Year 3 & 4 have been focusing on settling into and the expectations of their new classroom. Children have shared summer holiday experiences, 2 birthdays already and started to create new friendships. In English they have been looking at the book 'In Our Hands'. The children have had lots of discussion about the theme of the story, asked questions about the story, written predictions and created two different illustrations relating to the book. In Maths, children have started recapping Place Value, starting with tens and ones. Children have also taken part in a gymnastics and fundamental skills PE lesson, exploring how to balance and combine a sequence of body balances and focus on using those balancing skills to hop, skip, jump and balance with a skipping rope. They have shown positive attitudes towards the start of the new term and have been very keen to get stuck into their learning. Children have chosen themselves a reading book and have read this with adults during the week. Don't forget that children have also been sent home with a copy of their TT Rock Stars login details. They have been asked to access this for a minimum of 5 minutes daily, alongside their daily reading at home. This is a great time to set new routines, so building a lovely home/school routine with daily reading, spelling practice and TT Rock Stars is a perfect way to continue their learning further. A great start to Year 3 and 4, keep it up.
