Posted on January 26th, 2009 in Class 4 JO by class4jo

In numeracy this week we have been learning about finding area and perimeter of rectangles. We looked at the pitches of some premiership football teams.

In Literacy we have been finishing our playscripts and realising that actually we also have a few really talented actors and actresses too.

In Science we have been looking at a trying to find out which materials conduct electricity. We discovered that metal is the best metal conductor.

Our sewing skills have really taken off and we are growing in confidence with each session.

Can we remind parents that reading records and homeworks should be returned on a friday!

Thats all for this week.

Happy New Year!

Everybody is now in full swing for 2009.

This week during Literacy we have been looking at playscripts, and we have been not only acting from them, but we have also started to develop our own ideas too.

Watch out Eastenders and Coronation Street fans, we just might be writing the scripts in a few years.

In Numeracy we have been finding fractions of given numbers and amounts. It is really hard, but we are just about there now.

The best part of the week was starting our new D&T topic. We are making purses. Everybody laughed because Ms Jones found 5 purses in her bag of varying sorts. They made great design ideas to inspire us. We think that maybe Milly and Melia might be designing for Gucci or Prada in years to come. They can’t wait to start making them.

Can we remind parents that Reading Records need to be returned on Fridays. Please help your children to read everyday of the week and record this in the home reading records.

Thats all for this week.
