  This Week in Year 4…

  It has a been a week of ups and downs this week especially in English as the class have been writing their independent explanation text on: How to look after a dog, for beginners. This was followed by Mr Hays giving them all a SPaG test to really see how much they have learned throughout the year! It is safe to say, now that they've been marked, that they have retained so much information!

   

  In Maths we have been looking into the relationships of factor pairs and weedling out the numbers that only have themselves and 1 as a factor... I wonder if any of my class know the name of this kind of number?

   

  During topic lessons we have discovered the delightfully cruel nature of King John in the middle ages. The children were amazed at how utterly selfish and single-minded he was. But they were equally amazed that the Magna Carta that he signed still has some uses for our society to this day!

   

  But the highlight of the week was in their music - Brazilian Fever was much in evidence. Year 4 were given the opportunity to learn Brazilian Drumming - and boy did they enjoy it! Some of our children will be performing at the Canch on Saturday morning at 10:00am, in association with the KURB (Kindness and Understanding Beats Racism and Bullying) project. Other schools will be taking part and performing, too. Please go along and show your support, if you can. I can certainly recommend the performance!

• F1 - We Love the Rain!

  Fri 09 Jun 2017

  Sports day may have been cancelled for Foundation but Tree-mendous Tuesday certainly wasn't because we love the rain and facing the elements. In fact, I was delighted that Emily, who usually grumbles about the woods beforehand (but never when she is in them!), had a massive smile on her face because I had sent a text about squelching in mud and splashing in puddles. She LOVED it! So did Isabelle, whose Mummy had told me that she was excited about our soggy adventure! The trees sheltered us anyway and we took the parachute to hang in the trees so we could enjoy our biscuit and juice as we listened to the pitter-patter of the rain above us!

  The minibeasts also loved the rain as they came out in force to say hello! We found snails and a wiggly worm which we held carefully and said hello to. We are learning about them this half term so it was exciting to meet them face to face!

  The afternoon children had much heavier rain to face so going across the field proved a challenge as there were no trees to protect us but don't worry we had a plan and covered them in a sheet of tarpaulin so they looked like a caterpillar moving across the field. However it was a very noisy one as the laughter was very loud as the wind tried to snatch away our cover!

  What a great day full of fabulous language describing what they could see and how they were feeling, but the best thing was the noise of lots of laughter competing with the pitter-patter of the rain. Another unforgettable day!

  On the last Friday of last half term, we had a Maths Day in school and in Foundation we really did rise to the challenge. Miss Frisby put lots of maths related challenges both inside and outside for all our friends to access. There were lots of maths stars that day. Sophie and Jacob both stood out because they used their maths reasoning skills to work out problems and explain why they had come to that conclusion.
  In Foundation, we love numeracy and it is part of our everyday life. Maths is everywhere, in the home and at school and with the support of our amazing parents, children can grasp many mathematical concepts through their play.
  Children will begin to:
  • know and understand early maths language of measurement, shapes, spaces, positions, early numbers, order and patterns
  • know the sequence of numbers
  • begin to understand positional words, e.g. in, on, outside
  • show an awareness of time
  • be aware of shapes in their environment
  • be aware of 1-to-1 correspondence when counting.
  • acquire new vocabulary
  • learn number rhymes and songs, e.g. one, two, buckle my shoe etc.
  • be aware of conservation
  and this all happens as they are playing and exploring everyday.

  What a fabulous way to develop our numeracy skills and concepts!
