Cassiopeia2018-2019

In RE we have been thinking about trusting God and faith. We have been reading the story of Abraham and Issac and acted it out.

This week in Science we have been learning about vertebrates and invertebrates. We sorted living creatures according to the criteria for these groups. We then reviewed each others learning.

I hope everyone has received their child's login details for Times Tables Rockstars.  We have really enjoyed playing it it class, it is a really good way to speed up times tables learning and consolidation. The National Currriculum states that children should know their X tables up to 12X12 by the end of Year 4. Using this is the perfect way to do this and is part of Cassiopeia's Home Learning. I am regularly checking the children's' progress.

Here are the links to resources discussed in the X Table Information Meeting https://www.timestables.co.uk/ https://ttrockstars.com/home http://mrreddy.com/blog/2012/08/rolling-numbers/ https://thirdspacelearning.com/blog/teach-times-tables-pupils-learn-instant-recall-ks1-ks2/ https://tt.serveweb.co.uk/quiz# https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/supermovers/42612499

In Gymnastics we have been looking at travelling, balances and body shapes. We have also been developing our partner work. Here we are working together to create matching body shapes.

We have been exploring lots of different ways to plan our writing, as a class, by ourselves and in groups. Here we are working really hard on planning our Bronze Age Newspapers.
