What have we been up to in Term 6?
Week beginning 30th June 2025
The last Year 4 swim is 8th July.
After another warm week, Sussex have outdone themselves with their enthusiasm and hard work.
In English we have been publishing leaflets, ensuring we include a range of things to engage the read, e.g. Heading, subheadings, brightly coloured images and rhetorical questions. They look fantastic and we can't wait to share them with Year 3 next week.
In Maths we have continued our learning relating to shape, naming quadrilaterals, polygons and looking at symmetry. Can you remember the name for a shape that has 2 pairs or parallel lines, 2 pairs of sides that are equal and no right angles? What is a polygon?
In Science we have been looking at switches and begun to plan our own series circuit for next week where will will use things such as clothes pegs and split pins. Sussex have thoroughly enjoyed practically using the equipment.
Sussex made themselves proud on moving up day and have shown superb perseverance and enthusiasm on Sport's Day.
You are superstars!
