Rawdon Littlemoor Primary School

Well done to year four after their amazing behaviour at Lineham Farm and coming back full of enthusiasm to learn about Victorian Rawdon. We have investigated changes over the era and created timelines of our favourite events of the time. We have lots of excitin* events planned, such as a trip to Abbey House Museum for a murder mystery challenge and Victorian Day. We would love children to dress up for Victorian day if possible which will be on Friday 7th June.

New PE days are Wednesday and Thursday this half term. This was a last minute change and luckily we ( Miss Kemp included) are receiving some expert coaching in orienteering skills from Aces. 

In maths we have converted money and are moving onto measure. This term our new artist will be William Morris the renowned Victorian designer. We found out a little about his life and work whis week. 

Please find our Home School link on the class page for further details about our teaching this term. Lineham Farm photos are on the gallery on the Jotter.

Have a wonderful weekend

We have spent a lot of time this week thinking about and creating our own Greek-inspired mythical beasts. I have absolutely loved seeing the class being incredibly animated when they've been describing what their beast can do; what it looks and like; and how it makes its victims feel. Having had these ideas in their heads all week, they finally got to turn them into reality today in scientific drawings of their creatures. 

In English, the beasts have been given life as the children have started to write their own Greek myths. Enthusiasm levels are high as they get to go full-on gory in their descriptions!

In maths, we have moved on to a revision of 2D and 3D shapes ready to start our work on angles next week. 

In history lessons, we have been getting to grips with how the Greek society was influenced by the geography of Greece and how it helped the civilisation become so advanced. We have our Greek Workshop next Thursday so there will be lots more facts to be learned then. 

We hope you all have a lovely weekend, 

The Blackbird Team.

What a busy week!

In English, we have continued to plan and design some new underwear for Queen Victoria. Next week will will be creating a advert to advertise and persuade. 

In maths, we have been looking at statistics and bar charts. Next week, we will be starting to look at time. Any practice of time at home in reading the time would be fab!

We have officially started out new topic of Victorians. We will be looking at Rawdon as well later on in the term for our local history. 

Have a lovely weekend!
