3rd October 2008

Hurrah! Blog working again I hope.
Star of the week Cheeney Sheppard
fantastic artist and mathematician!
We have been researching more about the Victorians through a video about a young girl's life. Year 3 remembered all of it so do ask them about Maggie at school, working as a maid, working in the factory and working as a photographer.
We have taken a photo of the class which copies the photo we found of a Victorian class at Luckwell - hope to get it on the blog!
We have been working hard at our number bonds,
multiplying, partitioning numbers, doubling and halving - anyone wishes to learn some techniques for tables will be happy to show you after school next Thursday.
We have been drawing portraits of ourselves and learning how to draw in proportion ears, noses eyes and a mouth!
We have been looking at circuits in Science.
A very busy week as well as composing our own street seller songs!
In Literacy we have been comparing playscripts and prose and learning the wonderful story Rumplestiltskin.
Have a good weekend and I hope everyone smiles as it's smile day today!
