This week in literacy we have been planning and designing our very own dragons ready to write our own information reports next week. Drama activities helped us pull together our research, questioning and sentence construction skills as we interviewed our expert Dragonologists for Necton Primary Channel 10 News! We have also been working on making our sentence starts more engaging for the reader.
Maths
We have been continuing with addition and subtractions practise this week and are feeling much more confident with calculating larger numbers. We are using our partitioning knowledge to calculate using a number line. Next week we will be moving onto multiplications and division. Well done to those who have been earning their bronze, silver and gold stars for committing their multiplication tables to memory. This knowledge will come in very useful over the next couple of weeks as we start a new unit on multiplying and dividing. Keep practising, using your chart, with those at home.
Science
Continuing with our topic of forces, we have been experimenting how to increase a force and the affects this has. We made our own rubber band propelled paper planes releasing a burst of energy to increase the distance travelled and the speed. Look out ahead!

PE
Fluidity, posture and control have been the key words this week in PE. We have been putting together balancing and roll routines and evaluating our performances.

In other news...
A quick reminder that the School Book Fair is in school until Wednesday. Also, in recognition of European Day of Languages, Mrs Simm has organised a European food quiz with a £5 book token as the prize so please encourage your child to enter. I am also pleased to report that many children are achieving lots of stamps as the Read to Succeed scheme continues. It's lovely to see so many enthusiastic readers and would like to take this opportunity to thank your for your support. Reading every day at home really does make such a difference.
Finally, we look forward to seeing all those who can make it at the church on Thursday for the Harvest Festival Celebrations to enjoy a performance of songs, poems and prayers.
