Good afternoon everyone!
It's been another fun and busy week here in class 4. The children have been working incredibly hard on their Ancient Egyptian adventure stories and have now finally completed their final drafts. I can't wait to read them all this weekend.
The children are loving the Ancient Egyptian topic. They have worked exceptionally well in small groups today as they researched Ancient Egyptian topics. They loved the large collection of non-fiction texts we shared and particularly enjoyed using the computers to further develop their research. Next week, we will be beginning to create exciting Ancient Egyptian fact files; I can't wait! The children are keen to continue researching and then also add exciting photographs and images to illustrate their facts.
Badminton continues to go from strength to strength! The children played mixed doubles in a very exciting mini tournament earlier this week. I am absolutely amazed how quickly they have all developed some superb badminton skills.
Maths has been quite tricky at times, but the children have continued to persevere and have now developed some super confidence in converting units of length, capacity and mass. Today proved a little harder as the children were then applying their knowledge to solve estimating problems. Keep practising on Mirodo everyone and this will get easier and easier!
We have continued working hard on our reading every day; the children all continue to work in a small group with me every week, thus providing them with the opportunity of reading 1 to 1 with me and in some cases with Mrs Pearce too. They also work on comprehensions on a daily basis; believe it or not, even these have at times focused on the Ancient Egyptians! We've read about Egyptian life and Tutankhamun too; there really isn't much we don't know about the Ancient Egyptians here in class 4!
Please enjoy some of the photos from today's research activity.
Enjoy your weekend,
Mrs Matthews and Mrs Pearce xx
