Rhino Nativity Rap Performance

Rhino class have worked really hard to learn and act out scenes for their Nativity Rap. They even braved the cold weather so that it could be filmed outside. We wish were in a position to invite all parents into school so we could celebrate Christmas together, but at least we still get to share this with you. On a positive note, you can watch the performance as many times as you wish. We hope you enjoy it.

Many Thanks

Sensational Report Writing

Year 4 have been working really hard exploring how to write a Newspaper report. Over the last 10 sessions, we have been planning and writing together all the different elements which the children have really enjoyed.

Today, they had to put all the elements together and produce their very own completed Newspaper report.  When we looked back at all the first attempts, the children were amazed at the progress they have made in their writing.

Well done everyone.

Rhino Homework 20.11.20

This week, Rhino class have been learning about calculating perimeter.

When adding together a series of numbers together, please encourage your children to list, pair, reduce and then add. This is when the children list all measurements as an addition and then match pairs to add together to create a second but reduced list of numbers to add. The second, reduced list should be much easier and quicker to add together.

E.g.

list:              6 + 4  + 7 + 3 + 8 + 4 =

Pair:          (6 + 4)  + (7 + 3) + (8 + 4) =

Reduce and add:     10  + 10  +  12  = 36

Rhino Homework 6.11.20

This week, homework looks at how to recognise and write expanded noun phrases.

A noun phrase usually has a determiner (e.g. a or the etc) and a noun ( an object, thing or place etc) For example: a dog or the cinema.

An expanded noun phrase introduces an adjective to describe the noun e.g. a brown dog or the busy cinema.

Below is a video which explains further about expanded noun phrases.
