Summer 1 Week 2

Date: 28th Apr 2023 @ 1:47pm

What a week!

This week, we tried to swim to Paris...only joking! In our swimming lesson, we were challenged to swim as many lengths of the swimming pool as we could. There is a challenge that many Manchester schools are taking part in at the moment, which encourages children to swim for as long as they can. We will find out how many length we did next week, and see if we managed to swim to Paris.

In science, we looked at classifciation keys, and how we would classify different animals using keys. Our CC focussed on us being geographers and comparing Castleton and Clayton using ordnance survey maps. Clayton is a part of a city, whereas Castleton is a village, so they are very different! Did you know that Clayton has a natue reserve, but Castleton does not? 

In our writing lessons, we are writing persuasive leaflets to persuade our linked Y4 class to visit Clayton. 

Please remember to bring in empty cereal boxes next week, and to bring in the trip letters. There is bank holiday on Monday and a strike day on Tuesday :)
