Good morning everyone!
We had another wonderful week here in class 4! It's an absolute pleasure teaching class 4; they really are a super group of children and work so hard at everything they do.
We began the week with the start of our new text; 'The Secret Garden'! The children are thoroughly enjoying sharing the text, watching clips of the film, role playing different scenes and developing a super understanding of the different characters. With group work and sharing interesting ideas, the children are really developing their descriptive writing. I'm very impressed with them all.
If you'd have walked past our classroom on Monday afternoon last week you would have heard a wonderful sound! The children were playing xylophones together! They are beginning to learn how to play chords and triads whilst playing to a steady beat; they seem quite a talented bunch!!
Maths has been busy this week; the children are learning how to convert different units of measurement. This has proved quite tricky for many of the children, but with hard work, the children have made some brilliant progress.
In science, we have been focusing on food chains this week; the children have developed a super understanding of ecosystems. Next week, we are beginning a selection of investigations surrounding sound.
The children are continuing to really impress me in art; their album cover designs are fabulous. This next week, we will be moving things on a little further and using paints to develop their final versions. The children have really enjoyed incorporating art into their English work this week too; Mary Lennox illustrations have really impressed me. I can't wait to see pastel drawings of the secret garden too!
Hope you are all enjoying a lovely weekend together and aren't struggling too much with the dreadful weather.
See you all next week,
Mrs Matthews x
