Spring Term 2

Another quick half term but yet we have achieved so much! In maths this half term we have been tackling fractions and decimals! Tricky concepts but the children have done really well. 
In English, we have been writing our matchbox diaries, thinking about the voyage over to America in the 1800s and exploring emotive language. The writing from the children has been exceptional and we are really starting to see some incredible progression. 
Within DT this half term we have been making torches which has linked very nicely into our science unit, electricity! We have made circuits, discussed insulators and conductors and thought about how best we can save energy. 
 

Well done to all the children! Have a fantastic Easter, eat lots of chocolate and have fun!

Spring term 1 

What a quick half term we have had! Although short, we have covered an awful lot. In maths, we have focused on measurement, division & multiplication. Keep powering through with your times table practice! In English, we have written limericks, short poems, a lovely narrative and a diary entry! We have covered two lovely texts called 'The Pied Piper of Hameline and Cinnamon'. The children have loved our units this half term and are becoming confident writers! 
In geography, we have been learning all about climate change! This will be continuing next half term and the children have really impressed me with their knowledge. Within science, we have been continuing to work on states of matter, the children will really impress with their knowledge of the water cycle (especially the song!)

Within art this half term, we have been studying various artists such as Maud Purdy and Georgia O'Keefe, focusing on abstract art, particularly botanical flowers. The children have created some beautiful drawings that they should be proud of! 
 

Have a lovely half term and a well-deserved rest, 

The Willow Class Team! 

Autumn Term 2023

We have had such fun in Willow class this term. We have covered so many things and the children have really impressed me with their knowledge. 
In maths, we have covered place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication & division! In English, we have covered various genres and some lovely writing has been achieved. In science, we have been looking at states of matter and rocks. History and geography have been exciting this term and we have covered volcanoes, mountains, earthquakes and the Stone Age - Iron Age era! 
We have been lucky enough to experience Stone Age day which the children throughly enjoyed & the Year 4’s had a wonderful time on their archeological dig. 
 

Have a lovely Christmas break!
