Jaguars – Week 4 4/10/24

Welcome to the new class blog!!

 Jaguars have had another great week of learning.

Monday’s assembly was all about RNLI Float to live/ Water Safety delivered by Miss Dudley-Smith – the children understood the importance of keeping safe when near water and had many fantastic questions to ask surrounding this topic.

Maths

This week the children have completed their Place Value learning for this first unit of maths by counting in 50s. This requires the children to have a great knowledge of their 5 times tables so please do continue to practice these using the TTRockstars link below. 

The children have also started their learning of Addition and Subtraction by starting to look at applying number bonds to 10 as well as adding and subtracting 1s and 10s. Further practice of this can be seen below.

Writing

This week the children have been focusing on completing their warm write and hot write for character descriptions. Each child had a target to meet from warm to hot as well as seeing if they had meet all the target features that come as part of a character change (character descriptions) text. Next week we start our next unit.

Computing

During computing this week we have looked at how electrical devices help us. These include computers, iPads and laptops. We discussed the advantages of using applications like paint and word which enable us to carry out tasks in a shorter amount of time.

Science

This week we looked at shadows. The children focused on three scientific words: opaque, translucent and transparent. As part of our lesson we completed an investigation where the children choose objects from the three groups of opaque, translucent and transparent and compared these to see which made the best shadow, which the least and why. The children thoroughly enjoyed this.
