Another hard-working week in Class Lewis - lots to celebrate, especially with the Sun making an appearance! Incredibly proud of these pupils who participated in the Mini Gear last weekend - not only working hard inside of school, but outside too!

In Maths, we finished our topic of Statistics by reading and interpreting timetables. We then started our new topic of Shape by understanding and using degrees, classifying and estimating angles!

 

 

 

 

 

We continued our creative writing topic of Oliver Twist and used thesauruses to find up-levelled descriptive words to describe how Oliver and his friends were hungry. We then planned the build-up using prepositional phrases and then wrote our build-up, ensuring we used ambitious vocabulary, prepositional openers, relative clauses and parenthesis!

We continued to be Astronomers in Science and focussed on the eight lunar phases. We learnt that a New Moon is when there is no Moon in the sky, even when it is clear; if the Moon is waxing, it is more visible and if the Moon is waning, it is less visible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In History, we continued our topic of Victorians.
This week we focused on the Great Exhibition created by Prince Albert, held in Hyde Park, London.
We learnt this event was hosted from 1^st May 1851 - 15^th October 1851 and was the world's first international display of manufacturing and design. 

We continued our worldview of Judaism and focussed on Kushrut and Kosher - the dietary laws Jews have to follow and Treif - the forbidden foods. We looked at these laws in both the Deuteronomy and Exodus, and how these laws impact the life of Jews today.

In Computing, we used databases to find information about the Titanic.
We used 'And' and 'Or' to help us find different fields of data such as survivors, their class, gender and location of boarding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then flew to Spain to continue our understanding of the cafeteria.
We learnt how to ask for the bill, how to say goodbye and thank you. We then wrote our own conversation to order and then used the plural to order different quantities of food and drink.

Finally, in PSHE, we continued our topic of Relationships. This week we focused on our rights and responsibilities in an online community. We discussed the different social networks and communities and then had a list of different communities. We spoke about whom the group is targeted for, who it would attract and the risks of being in that group.

We love using Blooklets to consolidate our learning. A huge well done to our podium winners!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs T & I are very proud of this week's Golden Pupil. She is always producing beautiful standards of work and has adopted such a positive attitude towards school life - keep this up superstar! We are also incredibly proud of this week's Star of the Week. She wrote an amazing piece of English work using challenging vocabulary, is striving to become more independent and persevering even when she finds things difficult - an absolute transformation in confidence!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well done to this pupil who won the whole school Spelling Bee award! She is using her phonics knowledge to help sound out words and then using thesauruses to check her spelling.

It's always lovely to see new faces each week - well done to this week's ReadTheory double whammy winner for taking the most quizzes and earning the most knowledge points!

The number keeps getting bigger each week - 86% of the class achieving full marks on their times table test. An amazing achievement!

Finally, well done to King Edmund for securing a third week on the throne as Narnia Dojo Champions with 214 Dojos earned!
