Week 3

In English this week, the children have practised using exciting adjectives to describe the camp in the ‘Stone Age Boy’ story. They practised using a Thesaurus to up-level simpler adjectives like ‘big’ and ‘’happy’. The children also practised using conjunctions like ‘but’ ‘until’ and ‘or’ to add extra detail to sentences about the story. We have also had a focus on using the past tense and discussed how some verbs use the ending ‘ed’ and other verbs are irregular verbs e.g sleep become slept.

In Maths, the children have learned about adding and subtracting 10 and 100 to numbers. E.g 138 + 10 = 148 because the tens digit (3) changes and gets larger but the other numbers remain the same.

In History, the children learned about Stone Age monuments. We looked closely at Stone Henge and went on a virtual tour. The children also learned about the Cheddar Man – a Mesolithic hunter-gatherer who lived in Britain about 10,000 years ago, and whose nearly complete skeleton was discovered in Gough's Cave, Cheddar Gorge, in 1903. Ask your child if they can remember any facts about him!

In RE, the children learned about the Jewish festival of Rosh Hashanah and it’s significance. The children discussed what Jewish people do on this occasion and how they celebrate.

Please continue to read with your child and record reading in their reading diary. The children are getting points for regularly reading at home. Home Learning will be given out on Monday 21^st September. Please support your child to complete this and return to school the following Monday. – Thank you!
