Living and Learning: Internet Safety
In today’s Living and Learning lesson, we were learning about internet safety.
This lesson linked to our current statement: I make safe choices, including online.
The children explored a poem called ‘Jessica’s Wish’ – a poem that explains the importance of uniqueness.
Have a read of the poem yourself!
Addition
We’ve been doing lots of learning in maths about addition. The children have been taught a range of strategies such as counting on number lines, bridging through 10 and using number facts to help them answer addition calculations. In our last maths session, the children used these strategies to solve addition problems.
Algorithms
In computing, we’ve continued our learning with the Bee-Bots. In our latest session, the children were given a destination that the Bee-Bot had to reach and they wrote their own algorithms. After this, we inputted them into the Bee-Bot to see if they were correct.
We are loving our computing learning this term!
Computing: Scratch
This half term our topic has been computing.
The children in Year Five, over the last few weeks, have been creating their own computer games on Scratch!
The games they’ve been creating link to our class novel: Survivors.
Their games have been created using algorithms – these are specific instructions which tell different components of the game what to do!
Here are a few of our games so far…
Love of Reading
Today, Year Three read with Reception class and shared their love of reading. See some pictures, below.
Well done, Reception and Year 3!
Spelling
In Year Three, we try to be as creative as possible when practising our spellings. Today, we had a go at some of these ideas that we could use at home for our spelling homework. See some pics, below.
Amazing art
We all have at least one thing that we are really good at. One Y6 pupil has suddenly displayed an amazing artistic talent. Check out the art work that Rabiya has produced in her own time, at home- wow!
Multiplication Experts
Year Three have spent their maths lesson today showing what they know and can do with multiplication. Have a look at the pictures, below.
It’s snowing!
We couldn’t resist the chance to get out in the brief snow shower this morning. A great opportunity to talk about weather in the different seasons (part of our current science topic).
School Savings Club
The next School Savings Club paying in date is 03 February 2020 at 3.15-3.45pm.
The account is open to all children and it is free to set up. As there is not minimum deposit requirement, it is a great way for your child/children to begin to manage their own money and understand the importance of saving. We offer paying in sessions every half term where you can bring along any savings to be paid into your child’s account.
As an extra incentive, Year 3 pupils who open an account, or who currently have an account, will be credited with £10.
If you’re unable to attend in person, please hand in any money to be deposited to the office in a sealed envelope addressed to Mrs Tiffany.
Here are the remaining paying in dates for this year (the penultimate Monday of each half term).
- 23 March
- 11 May
- 06 July
To find out more about the accounts or if your child would like to open account, please enquire at the office.
