Our topic for the next 2 weeks
is animals from the zoo and we have been exploring in the jungle, our home
corner which has been decorated to look like a jungle. We have been
finding the animals in the coloured rice, sand and play dough, and creating a
zoo with lolly pop sticks! Today we will be visiting the zoo in P.E to
see how zoo animals move, and we are also making monkey faces with paper
plates, boy, I said we weren’t busy but I guess I lied! Tee he he!
Reception
This week we have been learning
all about pirates. We have had great fun pretending to be pirates on a treasure
island, as well as exploring treasure maps, and having the opportunity to
design our own maps. The class treasure hunt was very exciting, and we enjoyed
decoding clues to find the treasure! We are looking forward to writing our own
directions to find the treasure next week, and dressing up as pirates to end
the week!
Year 4
Year 4 have continued to develop
their knowledge of fractions this week by converting mixed numbers to improper
fractions and then adding them. We are all enjoying learning about fractions
and we find it really rewarding we learn a new skill!
In English we are still really
enjoying Danny the Champion of the world. We have been introduced to new
characters and have discussed how they might affect the story. We have also
been writing alternative endings to chapter 8 ‘The Pit’ and it is interesting
to hear other people’s ideas.
Year 4 have also been lucky
enough to have taster cricket sessions. This week we have been learning skills
in bowling and catching a ball.
We are loving the sunshine, even
if the classrooms are a little hot! Please can we make sure all children are
provided with a bottle of water and they are wearing sun cream and a hat on
warmer days. Thank you
Year 6
We’ve done it! SATs week is
over! All our hard work and efforts have paid off and we are looking forward to
all the fun that the rest of the Summer term holds for us! Mrs Blatcher and
Miss Niemann and all the school staff are incredibly proud of how well we all
approached the tests and showed off all our knowledge! On Thursday, the sun was
shining and we all went outside for our ‘Big Scream’, to mark the end of a
hard-working week.
We can’t wait to tell you all
about our upcoming events, including Business Enterprise Day, Adventure Island,
Disco and the all important Year 6 Leavers show! We will also keep you posted
on our Twitter feed @darlinghursty6. Please follow us!
