Time to learn!

Hi Everyone,

We began today by recapping those fronted adverbial phrases and most children assessed themselves as having made progress in their understanding and ability to use them.

Fronted Adverbial is when the first part of a sentence is a subordinate clause (it wouldn't make sense on it's own) that tells us how, when or where the verb in the main clause (the part of a sentence which makes sense on it's own) happened. It is always followed by a comma before the main clause.

Last Saturday morning, I saw an elephant walking down my street!
Last Saturday tells us when the elephant was seen.

Trudging through the gloopy mud, Mrs. Johnson got her wellies stuck and fell over.
Trudging through tells us how Mrs. Johnson got stuck

In numeracy we learned how 0 is used as a place holder when multiplying or dividing whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100, 1000,10000 etc.

This Thursday we will be welcoming a visitor, Professor Yamashita, from Japan. He is visiting local DASP schools observing science lessons. We look forward to his visit.

Runners - remember appropriate clothing tomorrow, water bottles and an EXTRA snack as it is a long wait until lunch time at 1 o'clock when you have exercised so hard!

Don't forget clarinets to be brought in tomorrow for Wednesdays lesson.

Thank you to Sophie and Demi who had been delving into their family history and brought in fascinating WW2 artefacts and photographs! Really moving!!

Finally - Congratulations to Rocco who represented our school yesterday in a Biathlon and won a very shiny medal, coming in fourth! Brilliant! We are very proud of you!

Cheerio!

Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Long
