Week Commencing: 09.12.24

We have had another festive week in Cl 2/3/4. In R.E., the children responded creatively to the Gospels where the angels brought God's news to Mary and Joseph, they did this through creating their own hymn, prayer or piece of artwork. The children enjoyed exploring new mindfulness poems in English and have been dedicated to learning their poems for their performances. We have started our DT unit for this half term and have been busy evaluating existing Christmas gift boxes and practising constructing 3D shapes out of nets.

This week the Christmas spirit has been evident in Cl 2/3/4. In RE, we compared the Gospels of Matthew and Luke and their versions of the Nativity story. We sorted Christmas cards into piles that depicted Matthew's and Luke's Gospels. In maths, Year 4 continued to explore area, Year 3 began to explore multiplication and Year 2 started to look at shape. Everyone got very creative in English this week, writing their own versions of a fable, including lots of grammatical features especially punctuated speech. In science, we explored why humans need a skeleton and had a go at labelling all the bones in the body!

We have had a lovely week in Class 2/3/4, ending with a lovely, peaceful and prayerful Celebration of the Word with our wonderful families. Each child loved being able to share this time with our wider community and enjoyed writing their Advent promises. In science, we investigated how to keep our pets healthy and what nutrition they need. In English, we have begun to plan and write our own fables based on Mouse and Lion. This week the children have been incredibly determined to complete their assessments to their highest standard, putting in 100% effort each time, I am so proud of each one of them.

In English, we have continued to master speech punctuation and have learnt our focus fable, 'Lion and Mouse'. In geography, we have continued our studies of the United Kingdom, explaining the differences between our county, country and continent.

This week in Cl 2/3/4 has been a busy one! In English, we have started our new book, 'Aseop's Fables', every child learnt and performed part of a fable with a group and we all had a go at working out the morals of each story. We also started to explore inverted commas and everyone loved writing their answers on their desks! In science, we created our own healthy plates, using the eatwell guidance to ensure they were balanced. We have also started our geography unit, 'The United Kingdom', locating our school in our continent, country and county.
