Hiya and welcome back. I hope that you have all had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed the sunshine!
During the next couple of weeks the Year 3 children will be continuing their preparation for Holy Communion. The Year 4 children will be getting ready for their Kingswood presentation (you'll be pleased to know that we hadn't forgotten how keen the children always are to show their families what they did on their residential - with tests and holidays this has been the earliest opportunity to get them all together.) A date for this will be forthcoming shortly.
In Literacy this week we are going to continue with the Poetry theme. The children will be exploring similes and metaphors, as well as reviewing onomatopoeia. They will also have the opportunity to learn about kennings - which are a type of mini-riddle. We will also be continuing to build on areas of spelling and grammar. Don't forget the poetry sites mentioned just before the holidays. But yo may also want to check out:
http://www.kidsonthenet.org.uk/ - different writing examples and challenges, including poetry.
http://www.rhymezone.com/ - an easy way to find lots of different rhyming words.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/spellits/ - spelling adventure games.
http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/year4/limerick.htm - writing limericks
http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/quizes/confusewords1.htm and http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/quizes/confusewords2.htm - developing understanding of homophones
In Science we will continue exploring sound as our practical topic, as well as extending our skills as geologists, looking at rocks.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/rocks/ - super site to learn more out about rocks.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/digger/7_9entry/7_9.shtml - check out the Numeracy and Science bits on here.
Don't forget your P.E. kits, sun hats and suntan lotion - we're hoping the great weather continues and wouldn't want anybody suffering with sunburn.
