22nd March 2018 Winyates News Year 4 The Monkeys What a lovely week we have had in school. I have seen lots of happy children showing off their celebration cards for the excellent work they have been doing in and around school. Well done everyone, we are very proud of how hard you have all been working. It was lovely to see so many parents joining the Reception class on their visit to the library today. I’m sure they will have a lovely time reading with their children. I am looking forward to hearing which stories they were listening to.
The Monkey class are busy developing their ability and confidence in reading, to enable them to read aloud. They have learnt a number of key skills to enable them to engage the listeners and ensure they enjoy the reading. We have also been working on fluency in our guided reading sessions with a particular focus on accuracy and decoding of words. In mathematics, we are using skills we have developed in fractions to help the development of key skills with decimals. In science, we are learning about how Attendance and Punctuality animals are classified with a focus on invertebrates, This week we have been Unfortunately illness and the weather out of class using the trees (the has been affecting our attendance over Winyates forest) to establish some the last couple of weeks, but thank you habitats for insects.

Additionally all of the classes will be completing a Mile around our new running track during the course of the day.
We started off the day with a presentation about Greek life and Weaponry. We were given the opportunity to handle some of the weapons and later, got to experience what it might have been like to be in the battle lines. After break time, we went in groups to experience different activities, which included playing an Ancient Greek board game, researching and problem solving.
