3/4F have been learning short multiplication to multiply two or three digit numbers by a 1 digit number. After lots of guided groups and independent practise we have all mastered this method to our year group standard! Today we applied our learning to a competitive team quiz, Kahoot! We had lots of fun playing against each other whilst practicing our short multiplication method. We also had to work well in teams!
This week in Year 3, we have started looking at mythical creatures from Ancient Greek myths and stories. We have began with Medusa, a hideous, snake headed gorgon! The children had great fun creating their own Medusa head bands and wearing them whilst writing this week.
Year 5 had the most amazing time at Harry Potter World, finding out lots of interesting facts about the books and special effects from the film. To continue our learning, we have been reading the first Harry Potter book in our classes. This has been a great way to relax at the end of our busy days!
Every friday, 3/4F and 4D gather to share and celebrate achievements of the classes and individuals. We celebrate children who are achieving on mathletics and spellodrome, children who have achieved their next steps and children who are showing the expected handwriting and presentation to be awarded their Pen License.
Here are the children we celebrated today! Well done to you all!
3/4F and 4D have been working hard creating their information posters about their chosen endangered animals.
This week we have focused on creating persuasive slogans and sketching scientific drawings of our animals. Miss Gilders and Miss Holloway have been so impressed with the quality of the work produced so far and the high learning zones everyone has been in.
For home learning, 3/4f were asked to create animal masks to add to our environment. Here is a picture of some of the masks that have been created: 
After working in high learning zones this afternoon, 4D and 3/4F definitely needed a brain break! So we laced up our trainers and went outside to run or walk laps of the playground for the golden mile.
This much needed and well deserved break made sure that when we returned to class we were able to continue achieving high learning zones!
