Home Learning

English: This week I have stuck a contractions worksheet in your home learning books. Read my explanation of what a contraction is and then have a go at filling in the missing words.

Maths: I would like you to continue practising what we have been learning in class this week. I have stuck an explanation of each of your tasks in each of your home learning books.

Spellings: You also have another 5 spellings this week. As I stated last week, from now on spellings will be stapled in reading journals.

What we have done this week

This week started with our Greek Day which was a big success. There were lots of great outfits on display as we all enjoyed all of the different things the day had to offer. For a start we learnt a bit more about the history of Ancient Greece with the help of some fantastic volunteers. We then had a go at thinking like the cleverest of Ancient Greeks trying to solve some very tricky puzzles, before moving on to becoming Ancient Greek battle commanders moving our armies against one of our classmates’. The afternoon started with a very special weapons display from our visitor as we got to see different types of armour, helmets, spears and a sword. This led us onto our very own Olympics in our school hall. We split into two teams and competed against each other in a series of, slightly adapted, ancient events giving everyone the chance to be a Greek Olympian for the afternoon.
