<---- Look at the amazing pieces of
artwork that the children have completed this week (other pictures below). Each
child drew 3 bees with different levels of support. The children should be
extremely proud of their final drawings, as seen on the right-hand side of this
picture. Their improvements were incredible and gives us a point of reference
to how much they can improve with the right mindset and tools.
It was lovely seeing some of you on
Wednesday for our meet the teacher session. As mentioned in the meeting, each
child has a sheet of ‘KIRFs’ which are half termly year group maths expectations
of ‘Key Instant Recall Facts’. There are useful website links to help support these
facts so I will upload the document to this blog entry as soon as I can. Each child should have also come home with log in details for their weekly homework. Any problems please email : )
In our maths learning this week, each
group has been continuing their focus on place value.
During our English learning, the
children continued their poetry focus and wrote thought provoking poems giving
endangered animals a voice. Following this, each child generated their own
ideas for an animal ready to write their own non-chronological report on it.
The children developed these ideas in their sketchbooks which they can refer to
during our writing stages next week.
In PSHE, the children learnt about what
it means to be a global citizen. They compared their own lives, and dreams to a
child working on a cocoa plantation in Africa.
During PE the children focused on
dribbling in our hockey session and dribbling and passing in basketball.

The children have
settled into Class 4 and our routines impeccably well- even with the heat! Here
is a brief summary for part of their learning.
In our English lessons
this week, we have had a poetry and vocabulary focus. The children wrote their
own Haikus and free verses based on animals.
In our maths lessons we
have started with place value. It’s been great to see such confidence in this
area.
We also introduced our
new topic, ‘Humans- environment superheroes or villains of our planet?’ The
children had lots of ideas about where this topic could take us.
During our PSHE lesson,
the children discussed their hopes and dreams for the future.
In our PE lesson on Friday, we were lucky enough that the playground was shaded with a slight breeze! We started learning key skills needed to dribble the basketball effectively away from our opponents.
Over the week, we also played various games to help us get to know each other better.
Hopefully the children
have enjoyed their first week back to school- any worries or concerns please
don’t hesitate to email me on sporter@pelyntprimary.co.uk
We hope you had a lovely
weekend in the sun,
Ms Porter and the Class
4 team
