WEEKLY NEWS
Friday 15th November
Our week began with a very powerful and thought-provoking
Remembrance assembly on Monday. All of the children did the school
proud and thank you to those who were able to come in and share the
moment with us. In literacy this week we have started work on nonchronological reports. We are basing our work around a non-fiction
book entitled 'Earth-Shattering Events.' In maths we have started
'decomposing' 4-digit numbers and looking at quick strategies for
addition and subtraction. Our science this week has been learning
about circuit diagrams and making simple electrical circuits. In
Godrevy we have continued with our topic on volcanoes. We read
about a first-hand experience of a farmer in Iceland who had to
evacuate his farm due to an eruption. We learned about the
consequences for him and his local community. In music we worked
on a performance of a song using call and return. In P.E with Mr Potts,
we played some games using non-verbal communication in order to
break a code. In art we managed to incorporate outdoor learning. We
looked at examples of Turner's paintings of the sky and then
experimented with different views of the sky surrounding the school
playground. In RE, we continued with their work on Noah's Ark.

Spellings
Spellings are no longer being sent home in the traditional manner. Instead, the class will work on five spellings one week and a single rule or letter string the following week with a short, random test administered on Fridays.
We will be starting at the beginning of Mr Smith's Spelling document. All rules (and letter strings) can be found within the Spelling Exemplar document above.
Focus Five
There are 100 statutory words children in years three and four should know how to spell. You can download a full list here.
Every other week, we will work on five of these in class (and hopefully at home, too).

Geography - VOLCANOES
This term we will be finding out about the volcanoes. We will be investigating how they form, where they are most prevalent and what the consequences are for the people who live in regions with active volcanoes.
