Week beginning 3rd December 2018

What an exciting start to the week we had! Father Christmas had visited the school, leaving a letter for us to respond to. We were very persuasive in our replies and look forward to seeing if our wishes come true!


This week in English we have continued to write our myths involving the characters we created. We have focused on making our writing cohesive and using lots of rich descriptive language. 

 In Maths we have been completing, reading and interpreting tables and line graphs.

During our Topic sessions we have been busy making our 'coke' volcanoes erupt, we were a bit disappointed as they didn't fizz up as much as we hope!

 We have been busy perfecting our song for the Christmas Fayre and very much hope to see you there.

 Finally, as the children have worked so hard this term, we will not be handing out anymore homework until next term. We hope you and your families welcome this break and enjoy the opportunity to embrace the festivities!

On Thursday afternoon, we were visited by some mini-monsters. Ed shared his knowledge of them, expertly answered our questions and enabled us to get close to these magnificent creatures. In our other Topic work, we looked at the different groups of mini beasts and used their characteristics to make a flowchart to help us classify some of the creatures we found on the common. In Maths, we have begun to explore angles. We have learnt about the different types of angles and have mastered using a protractor to measure them. In English, we have looked at a range of stories which explain how animals got their signature

Firstly we would like to thank all the parents who were able to attend the Maths cafe on Thursday this week. We hope you all enjoyed working with your child and learnt some new games to help the children to continue to learn their times tables at home.  We have also sent home some slips with ideas for online games involving times tables and included a copy of your child's login to Education City  with this. In the feedback for the Maths cafe it was mentioned that it would be useful to know the calculation methods the children use in school so parents can support at home. Below are the main methods used and more detail can be found in the calculation policy which is on the school website   https://mulbartonprimary.norfolk.sch.uk/Newsite/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Calculation-policy.pdf   In English this week we have been discussing: Have books become obsolete? The children have thoroughly enjoyed debating this question and have begun to look at balanced arguments so th
