Maths

This week in maths we have been exploring rounding to the nearest 10/100/1,000/10,000/100,000 and 1,000,000. Children have been using place value charts as well as number lines. Some pupils were able to see the pattern and rules when rounding. We have also been looking at comparing numbers using greater and less than.

English

This week in English we have been working on editing and improving our Big Writes from last week. The children have been introduced to Grendel’s mother and getting vengeance for her son.

RE

During RE we have been exploring humanist’s beliefs and values. Humanist believe that anyone can live a good life: both people who are religious and those who have no religious beliefs. This week we have been exploring how the Golden Rule within the humanist religions also applies to other religions too. The children created their own Golden Rules posters for which rules are important to them. Some examples are below.

English

This week within our English lessons we have been working towards our first Big Write. The children have been exploring features of newspaper reports, interviews and how to plan a report. The children have written some great informative pieces about the trouble Grendel has been causing to the town of Heorot.

Maths

In maths this week the children have been working on partitioning numbers up to 1,000,000. Children have been working on flexible partitioning as well as the traditional way. We have also been adding and subtracting mentally and placing numbers onto a number line.

Stormbreak

This week we introduced the children to Stormbreak, our new wellbeing program for schools. We completed our first Stormbreak which was ‘Cross Country Challenge’ which taught us how to be resilience as well as having meaningful movement. The children really enjoyed their Stormbreak and keep asking when the next one will be!

Star of the week

This week’s star of the week goes to Ethan for his hard-work in maths lessons and a brilliant first Big Write. Well done Ethan!

This week in Oak we have been very busy during our first full week back at school. It has impressed me how well they have settled back into school life at Sutton Primary.  In maths we have be working on reading and writing numbers to 1,000,000. The children have been using place value charts as well as mental arithmetic. Our English lessons have focused around the book of Beowulf and the battle between Beowulf and Grendel. The children have begun to create character profiles for both.

During our second science lesson the pupils have been researching different gestation periods of mammals. The children have been working on independently researching on our newly purchased laptops. Some pupils began to compare lengths and decide whether they were longer or shorter than a year.

Finally, it was great to be back in Church for our first Shine Together of the academic year. The children impressed me with their knowledge and understanding of the school values.
