Good afternoon everyone!
We've had another great week here in class 4!
The children are thoroughly enjoying focusing on 'The Lorax' in English at the moment. They have particularly enjoyed role playing conversations between the Lorax and the Once-ler! They have then been working really well together in groups to plan a persuasive letter to the Once-ler to insist he stops destroying the environment. Next week, the children will be writing their own versions of a persuasive letter to him.
In science, the children are becoming very skilled at using those classification keys. Today, they were using one to help them identify different animals they may not have otherwise recognised. The children have loved our animals topic. Next week, we will be using the same technique to identify different plants and trees too.
P.E. has once again been very busy! On Wednesday, the children enjoyed yoga and mindfulness! I was very impressed with their balance and stamina! Gymnastics this week involved working in pairs to create sequences; the children used synchronised rolls/cartwheels or developed other interesting ways of performing movement and then included one of their paired balances before finishing with another synchronised movement. The class then performed beautifully for each other. I was so impressed; the progress the children are making is so lovely to see.
Computing was very exciting for the children this week! We focused on websites this week; particularly how content is found on different websites and why different media may be used. The children then worked together to create images and sounds that could be added to a website. They absolutely loved it! Below are photos I took in class as they worked enthusiastically creating exciting musical content.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for lovely Autumn sunshine!
See you Monday,
Mrs Matthews and the class 4 team x
