Autumn 1 Week 4.

 

We had an exciting visitor in our class this week. PC James Smith,  Beat Manager for Gaywood, Fairstead and Reffley, came in to talk to us about his role in the community. There was a lot of interest in the equipment he carried on his person: radio, camera, baton, handcuffs and pepper spray. We were all surprised to learn that, in his 16 years in the force, he has yet to use the spray and often a threat of use is enough to detract from further escalation.  PC Smith has worked in many branches of the police force, but his current role is going to see him spend more time in school, teaching the children how to keep themselves safe, especially online.

 

Elsewhere in the curriculum we have covered the following:

Maths - four operations with a focus on addition and subtraction.

English - dialogue and adverbs as we build our sentence work.

Spellings - we are looking at the sc sound for s. Spellings are in reading records and will be tested next Thursday.

Science - we went outside to run around and measure our heart rates

History - more about Baghdad and what life was like in the city

Geography - flags and to understand coordinates

Spanish - becoming familiar with the alphabet and pronunciation 

Art - exploration of the Rococo Style.
