Another jam-packed and fun-filled week in class Lewis. This week we have enjoyed celebrating Red Nose Day and taking part in lots of different activities, such as decorating the best red nose, the best superhero mask, guessing how many sweets are in the sweet jar and riding the Go-Karts to raise money for Comic Relief! Alongside these activities, we also took part in some Red Nose Day-themed Maths challenge questions and also created some double-page spreads! Thank you parents again for your support and for some very red costumes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An exciting week in Class Lewis celebrating all things reading and books for World Book Day! Thank you parents for your support with some amazing costumes. In the afternoon, we completed some World Book Day themed Maths - finding the winner of the mystery costume and even created some gorgeous writing based on our class book The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. Children chose to create stories, dialogue, setting descriptions and acrostic poems - blown away by their creativity! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This week in Maths, we began our topic of decimals. We identified decimals up to 2 decimal places and found equivalent fractions and decimals in both tenths and hundredths!

 

 

 

 

 

 

In English, we have continued PIXL Writing Therapies based on our recent SPaG assessment. We revisited full stops  (identifying the subject and verb) alongside relative clauses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In History, we learnt all about the conditions slaves faced on the Middle Passage journey as part of our topic of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Very insightful and mature conversations were had by all the pupils.

In PSHE, our focus this week was alcohol and the effects it has on our bodies. As a class, we provided an alternative ending to a story and also made our own informed decision on whether we will drink alcohol when we are older.

In Science, we continue to look at forces. This week our focus has been on friction and the different types of friction: air resistance, water resistance and upthrust.

We have also created our Mother's Day cards - we hope that you all have a lovely day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow - what a jam-packed final week of Spring 1! We loved our learning of Australia so much, we created some gorgeous double-page spreads which provided a snapshot of the country. From traditional foods, popular sports, their vocabulary, their leader, capital, population, currency and climate to famous landmarks and famous people. 

We also loved our learning of Living Things and their habitats so much too, that we planned and wrote letters to Sir David Attenborough and Jane Goodall telling them all about our learning of life cycles and chimpanzees alongside asking them questions about their careers! Miss Edgeley has also posted our edited letters and we are hoping for a response s

The children absolutely smashed their February PIXL assessments and all received a specially personalised Miss Edgeley certificate as they all made progress!
An amazing achievement and Mrs T & I are EXTREMELY proud of all your hard work superstars!

A special mention to this pupil for winning a prestigious fidget spinner for making progress in all 6 of her assessments - a testament to her hard work and determination!

Not only have the class all made progress in their assessments, but they have all achieved their 30-point reading certificate and are halfway there to gaining their 60-point certificate and book!

 

A huge well done to our Golden Pupil for making fantastic progress in his assessment grades - we are very proud of you! Another huge well done to our Star of the Week for not only making good progress in his assessments, but improving the quantity of his work and increasing his stamina for writing. Keep this up superstar!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A truly fantastic week of learning in Class Lewis - we've been all over the world! In Science, we researched the lives of two scientists: Jane Goodall and her work with the chimpanzees and David Attenborough and his work with natural history. We then created our double-page spreads about their lives and achievements. Some beautiful work was produced!

Another busy week of learning in Class Lewis! In Maths, we have consolidated our understanding of multiplying a 4-digit number by a 2-digit number, applied our multiplication knowledge to answer word problems, used the bus stop method for short division and, as a class, answered problem-solving and reasoning questions. A class full of Mathletes - very impressed!
