Weekly Update-8/11/24
Posted: Nov 8, 2024 by: Mr Kyriacou (n.kyriacou) on: Beech Tree Blog
Hello everyone,
This week, we have continued reading our class novel, The Thieves of Ostia, which the children are really enjoying, and more clues have been revealed in relation to the crimes that have been committed throughout the story so far and who the culprit might be.
In maths, we have been focusing on on area this week. The children have made super progress throughout the week and have been able to confidently demonstrate their understanding of what area is, how to calculate it, compare areas of different shapes and and solve word problems involving it.
In our writing, the children have been working on their biographies of Boudicca. They finished their draft pieces, edited their work and then published them. They’ve done a great job and their pieces have been very enjoyable to read.
In PSHE, our lesson linked in with our Mind Mate assembly, which was all about having healthy relationships. As a class, we discussed which positive attributes contribute towards having healthy relationships with people around us and then the children created their own posters about themselves and which positive attributes they feel that they have that helps them to develop healthy relationships.
We have also started practising our Christmas performance songs, which the children really enjoyed.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou :)
