We are very excited to be back at school and starting term 5 off with a bang! We are learning all about The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes and are learning some of it off by heart so we can perform it. Next Friday, we will be doing our class assembly to the school and parents. To prepare for this, we are practising and memorising our lines. In P.E this week, we have been learning to play rounders. In history, we are continuing our topic about the Vikings. We have learnt about the Lindisfarne raid.

On Tuesday, we made a picture out of pastels of a sunset.  This is because this week is Sun Week so we are celebrating in lots of different ways. We are also writing thank you messages to the sun. This afternoon, we are excited about our outdoor learning. We'll tell you next week what we do!

On Tuesday, Bethan and Ujin represented our school by going to a maths competition. We had to answer really tricky maths problems but because we used everything we've learned, we came joint third out of twenty-two schools. 

In English today, we are finishing off our non-chronological report about highwaymen.

Today in athletics, we will be learning how to throw.  This will also help us as we continue to learn how to play rounders. This week, we have been doing CATs tests and have worked very hard. In Reading Practice lessons, we have been reading a book called, Incredible Ecosystems and have been learning all about the impact of humans on planet Earth.  In maths. we have been learning how to draw and measure angles.

In history this week, we have been learning about when Edward the Confessor died. He had no children so there was no heir to the throne. Therefore, three men wanted the throne - William, the Duke of Normandy; Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex and Harald Hardrada. In English, we finished our setting descriptions based in The Highwayman and today, we have started writing our own poems, based on a new section of the same poem. 

In maths, we have continued our shape unit by learning about co-ordinates.  In P.E, have stated our sports day trials.

We learned off by heart, stanzas from the poem, The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.
