Welcome to Goldfinches’ Weekly Blog

It has been absolutely fantastic to welcome each and every one of our wonderful Goldfinches back into school. They have continued to make us so proud with their passion for learning and happy faces.

  Star of the week goes to: Willow.

 Top Table award goes to: Savannah

This week we have… and next week we will…

…enjoyed the opportunities to be back together again and working in teams in lots of different subjects.

 English- We have enjoyed predicting and exploring our new English book ‘Leon and the place between’. Our sentence descriptions have been wonderful as we are developing a rich and varied vocabulary. We have started to read ‘The train to impossible places’ and are finding out about the characters and unusual setting. This week our focus is on using our rich and varied vocabulary to write a diary entry and to recap using a wider range of subordinating conjunctions.

 Spellings- words with the spelling pattern ‘ey’ ‘ei’ ‘eigh’

 Maths- In maths we have solved addition and multiplication problems after recapping multiplying and dividing by 1 and 0. We are moving on to using a range of written methods of multiplication.

 Science- We explored a range of different foods from Mrs Evans’ cupboard and worked together to sort them into their food groups.

  History- we read a range of myths and used them as sources of information to find out about life in Ancient Greece. This week we will use further primary and secondary sources of information to find further clues about the past.

 Music- Ukulele is going well and we are learning to play in time together which is a really tricky skill.

 PE- We have enjoyed playing team games and solving problems together outside.

 Computing- Our first E-Safety lesson this term focused on playing online games safely together. We will use our understanding of this to support us in our next theme of ‘Entering a digital world’ and help us learn to create a presentation.

As always, if you need any support, please don't hesitate to contact me at school via e-mail or by phone.
