Today, Class 4 came to visit. We listened to the stories they had written and then we read our reading books to them. Everyone was very supportive.

In our #HighfieldsEnglish we have been revising the sentence journey. Today it was the compound sentence focus. We made compound sentences in our groups.
In #HighfieldsEnglish we have read Somebody Crunched Colin which got us thinking about plastic pollution. We have been researching the effects of plastic pollution on marine animals to create an information poster.
We’re honing our prediction skills. How might a toffee, key, mermaid and glass bottle link together in a story? Could it be a mermaid in need of rescuing or a treasure chest full of toffee? We need to find out!

There was a lot of animated discussion in #HighfieldsEnglish when we had to try & work out the characters for our next unit of learning from picture clues.
This term we’re going to be exploring Ancient Egypt in #highfieldshistory. Our new topic will inspire our #highfieldsenglish writing too! To get excited about this fascinating era of time, the children mummified each other! You made great mummies! 🇪🇬
#HighfieldsEnglish We used objects that belong to us to play a memory game and learn about possessive apostrophes. We memorised the objects and closed our eyes while one got taken away. We had to work out what had disappeared and who it belonged to.
Shakespeare week has ended with us writing potions, creating maps of the island with no name, painting the spirit Aerial and making an edible tempest!
We even acted out the story of The Tempest with a whoosh.

Getting ready for our Harry Potter showcase where we shared the wonderful writing we had completed with our parents and carers. Together we made and hung floating candles to greet the adults in to school. #highfieldsenglish
We’ve started Shakespeare week by predicting what might happen in the story of The Tempest. We discussed some objects from the story and guessed what might happen after reading the first chapter.
