This week we have had a great week of learning. We have had our final yoga session with Katie and enjoyed exploring outdoor Art in our Art week. We also had two moving up mornings in Year 4. Mrs Tipping commented on how well behaved and eager Year 3 were in finding out about their new class! Well done Year 3!

Today we have sent out your end of year reports. You will find a QR code at the bottom to get access to your child's seesaw account. Just download the seesaw app, create an account and scan the code. We will keep this live until the end of the school year. Enjoy seeing a little more of what we've been learning this year.

In our class novel we have reached Little Witchery, the mysterious witch kingdom in the sky. We found out what the S.M.I was, (the Society of Magical Investigation) and Toby had a few difficult decisions to make.

In Maths we have finished our Decimals topic, and learned how to count forwards and backwards in tenths. Everyone showed great understanding with this.

In Art we met Frances Hatch and looked at her landscape pictures and how she used natural materials to create her pieces. We also made some colour palettes and visual drawings. Check out our gallery.

In French, we concentrated on phonics - the sounds are different in French. We went on a treasure hunt to find words and grouped them according to the sounds in the words. We made sure we could read them all. Learning actions to go with the sounds really helps.

In Science, we found out what shadows are and how we can change them. The children carried out a pattern seeking investigation to see if there is a link between the distance the light source is from the object and the length of the shadow. This linked into our Art week learning too with the art of Anne Atkins where we explored cyanographs and had a go at making our own shadow art.

Home Practice.

Read read and read again! Continue with the great reading habits you have had all year. Today we had a visit from the library to introduce their summer reading scheme. It looks great, pop into the library to find out more.

We have set 3 challenges on Sumdog. Keep preactising your number facts and spelling.

Here are your spellings for this week. These will be the last home spellings of the year but there is still plenty of practise available on Sumdog Training.

Have a fantastic weekend and we will see you all next week!
