This week in our worship, we have looked at Jesus’ final moments on the cross and even in his dying hour, he showed truly what type of king he is. The children shared their thoughts of what type of king they think Jesus is and we portrayed these ideas onto our class crown. In our RE lessons, we have continued to reflect on Psalm 23 and look deeper into King David’s relationship with God. We have looked at Jesus this week and how he is the good shepherd, with us being his sheep.
In English, we have turned into newspaper reporters and have been analysing the features of some newspaper clippings this week. We have been applying our newly learnt grammar skills of relative clauses and have been including these in our own article writing. In our spelling lessons, we have been getting active in finding irregular past tense verbs and understanding that these carry the same meaning of the root word but are spelt differently.
In Maths, we have been working really hard with our tricky negative number word problems which apply to real life such as temperature change, elavation drops and going up and down in a lift. We then started our new unit , which is one of our biggest, of multiplication. We started by multiplying 2 digit by 1 digit numbers by partitioning our larger number by using the grid method.
On Thursday, we had a lovely visit from the Fylde Council Recycling Team to talk to KS2 about the important of recycling and to inform us on how to use our bins correctly. Test your children at home on which items go in each bin so they can help out around the house.
Conversation Starters
In RHE this week, we have had some personal and mature conversations about how our bodies are going to change over the next couple of years. As we know, these conversations are often awkward and embarrassing but very important to open up about so please make sure to ask your trusted adults any questions or worries that you may have.
