We started the week learning all about the Merchant of Venice before the RSC visit on Tuesday. We learnt about the setting and characters, created freeze frames of different scenes and spent time in the hall with Year 4 acting out the play in ten sections. The children absolutely blew me away with their acting and understanding. Well done Year 3!
On Tuesday we were treated to an amazing performance of the Merchant of Venice by the RSC. What a show it was! The children were beautifully behaved throughout and they were very sad when it came to an end! A big well done to Sophie, Lillie and Oliver who took part in the performance by presenting the caskets and reading a line from the play. We are so lucky to be able to experience a performance of a Shakespeare play first hand from the RSC.
Here is what we have been learning this week…
-English: we have written some fabulous recounts of Stone Age Boy and started a new topic on information texts. I have asked the children to bring in any leaflets they may see when they are out and about this weekend that give the reader information - for example, a leaflet about local attractions.
-Maths: we have looked at measurement this week and had a focus on telling the time on an analogue and digital clock.
-History: we have learnt about Stonehenge and we will be making our own models of this famous landmark next week.
-R.E.: we have looked at the story of The Paralysed Man and retold it. We have also learnt about the importance of our Baptismal promises.
Our award winners this week are:
Maths: Tyler
Writing: Max & Oliver
Golden: Jayden-Thomas
