Class 4
Happy Half Term!
admin on: Class 4
It has been such a short term but the children have worked really hard! I have seen them produce their best piece of writing all year on the water cycle. They really are experts on the water cycle now.
Also, thank you very much for your presence at the Cliffe House evening last night. Please do come and see me if you have any more questions.
Homework this half term is:
1.) IXL maths M12 on multi-step word problems. These are quite difficult but we have been looking at similar ones in class and I have encouraged the children to take their time. I explained that if they treat it like a question in a reading test (where they have to really understand the question), the maths behind it is actually fairly straightforward.
2.) IXL English J4 on capitalization.
3.) Potatoes, pressure, probably, promise, purpose, quarter, question, recent.
Have a lovely break!

Fair and Funky Workshop
admin on: Class 4
Today, we had Fair and Funky in to teach us how we can make small changes to our lives to help us be more sustainable. They taught us about recycling and we used a recycled milk bottle to make a piece of art. In addition to this, they taught us about the importance of renewable energy. To demonstrate this, the children were allowed on an exercise bike which powered a smoothie maker! They made their own smoothie as a healthy and sustainably made snack!
Homework due 23.5.19

The homework this week is:
IXL Maths CC14, CC15, CC16 on adding and subtracting decimals.
IXL Maths AA6 on equivalent fractions. This week we have discussed the rule "whatever you do to the numerator (top number), you do to the denominator".
Spellings: ordinary, particular, peculiar, perhaps, popular, position, possess, possible.
Also, there are still a couple of children who I haven't received the meal requirements from for Cliffe House. The other two letters aren't as urgent, but the meal requirement letter I do need back ASAP as the Cliffe House catering team need these before half term. If these could be returned early next week, that would be great!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Mr. K

Murton Park
admin on: Class 4
On Monday, Class 4 went on a trip to Murton Park to become Romans for the day. The children we given a tunic and a contract to sign that meant they now were employed by the Roman Army. Throughout the day, they took part in various activities such as making an oil lamp, writing in Latin, marching in formation and using (fake!) swords, javelins and spears. They even managed to frighten off a Celt! The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I feel it will be a trip that sticks with them forever. Their behavior was impeccable throughout and the staff at the venue complimented them on their conduct. I was a very proud teacher! Also, a big thank you to Miss Todd, Mrs Greenwell and Jenny MacDuff for their help.
