WEEKLY NEWS
Friday 24th January
We have had a typically busy week. We have been writing our own stories based on 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' with some excellent versions involving inhabitants of towns stricken with all sorts of plagues from cats to pythons and gorillas. Our reading focus was Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling. In maths we have been working on problem solving using addition and subtraction of 4-digit numbers with column methods. In science we have been learning about sound and specifically, sound insulation by testing different materials in our own home-made ear defenders. In Godrevy topic work, we have been finding out about life for school children during World War II. We have discovered some similarities but many differences. In PE we worked in small groups to develop an earthquake dance. Our music involved singing a song in two distinct parts, adding in movements and actions and trying to count beats to stay in time. In R.E, the children started a new topic on Judaism and found out the importance of Shabbat. In computing the children continued adding new instructions to their code. This week's Curriculum Carousel features the best decade of music, the 80s.

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).
History - Children in World War 2
This term we will be finding out about how the lives of children were affected during World War 2. We will be looking specifically at the Blitz, evacuation, school days and V.E Day.
