Times tables practise in Dragonflies, Bees and Scorpions

Times Tables

Children in Dragonflies and Bees will focus on a specific times table each week, their knowledge of which will be tested on a Friday. Children may practise using Times Tables Rockstars, but will also need to rehearse the specific times table that they are working on either verbally or with a pen or pencil in their Home Learning books. Scorpions will be tested on all times tables every Friday and should use Times Tables Rockstars.

Spellings for Dragonflies, Bees and Scorpions

Spellings

Every Friday, children in Key Stage 2 will bring home a list of ten spellings to learn. They will be given a test on these words the following Friday and a new list will be shared. Children in Dragonflies and Bees will focus on recapping high-frequency words and Year 3&4 common exception words. Children in Scorpions will recap the above-mentioned words and in addition will also focus on Year 5 & 6 common exception words. These word lists will be made available each week for children to practise on Spelling Shed. The full 3&4 and 5&6 word lists are available on Spelling Shed should your child wish to do any further practice.

Looking at one point perspective

We have enjoyed looking at one point perspective in our art work this week. May of the children have asked for the link to a webpage that we took a look at in class so that they can have another go at home.

Please find the link below:

Last day at the Pioneer Centre

We had beds stripped, rooms sorted and cases packed before breakfast and then went off to the high ropes. What a fantastic morning – the children should all be so proud of their effort and achievements!

Art in Dragonflies

We have been looking at the work of landscape artist William Heaton Cooper. We have learned about using one point perspective in our drawing and have used colour to add perspective to our paintings. We have learned that we can use lighter to darker shades to show perspective.

We laid our paintings out and had a critique session. We discussed the use of colour and shared our observations with each other.

Swimming

Our last swimming session for this term will be on Tuesday 7th December.

Please Note: this is different to the original plan as we had to miss a session earlier in the term.

We have really enjoyed our sessions and we would like to thank the staff at the Leisure Centre in Ludlow for accommodating all of us!

The weather is getting colder!

We have the windows open in class to allow for sufficient ventilation.

Please don’t forget to wear layers e.g. a vest, t-shirt or sport skins under your school uniform so that you are not cold in class.

A note about swimming

Please wear PE kits on swimming days

On the original notice about swimming sessions at the beginning of term I had asked children to come in their school uniforms every Tuesday to go to the pool.

However, after discussion with Mr Harley we have decided that it would be better for children to come in their school PE kits.

Many thanks,

Mrs Heath

P.E on Wednesday!

Dragonflies will be doing P.E. tomorrow as we took extra time to finish an English session today.

Please could children come into school in their PE kits again tomorrow.

I appreciate that this may be difficult for those who are taking part in cross country this evening. If they don’t have a complete school kit to wear, perhaps they could wear something as near as possible just for tomorrow.

Apologies and many thanks.
