What's on this week? (Term 2, Week 1)

Welcome back 3/4F! I hope you've all had a wonderful break and are ready to begin term 2. This week, we begin looking at patterns in maths. In English, we focus on apostrophes of contraction possession. We also begin to write fables, which are short stories with a hidden meaning. Although we don't have George to help us with EduPLEX this term, we will continue the EduPLEX program during our LAB time. The children will work their way through 'Mookii World' which is lots of fun. Later this term (week 5) we begin our first major science topic called 'Melting Moments' (and yes it does involve chocolate!!!). But for the first 3 weeks, we extend last term's topic of celebrations to give the children a chance to complete a research project to present to the class. This will be handed out tomorrow and be completed at home as part of their homework. The children will receive a slightly revised homework format this term as well. Homework will begin tomorrow (Wednesday as normal) and will be handed in on Monday (as normal). So a big week, but lots of fun! Enjoy it!
