• Spellings

Welcome to 4LW 

Welcome to our class page. Here you can access our weekly update, class spellings and homework. Our P.E. day is now Tuesday and the children will be outdoors - weather dependent, so please ensure that they have appropriate kit. Please ensure that the children have appropriate P.E. Kit in school as we will also do P.E. on a Friday. 

My name is Mrs Whipp. I have been at Offley for five years now, having initially started as a maternity leave cover for Mrs McLoughlin. Before joining Offley, I taught at a variety of schools across both Cheshire and Manchester. My subject responsibility at school is Computing, which I love. Outside of school, I live with my husband and enjoy walking, drawing, photography and reading. As I love learning new things, I am currently learning to quilt.

You can check if a book you are reading at home has an Accelerated Reader quiz in your ZPD range by following this link and searching for the book.

Weekly update

We have had a fantastic penultimate week in 4LW. In our English sessions, we have planned our TV adverts and started to collect bits together. Some groups have started to use Adobe Spark to collect images for their films. In Maths, we have continued to look at lines of symmetry. Our focus this week has been on completing symmetrical shapes and identifying lines of symmetry in patterns.

On Tuesday afternoon, while Take the Stage were performing Beauty and the Beast, we took part in an intra school rounders competition with 4BH and 3GB. We have also spent some of our Accelerated Reader time in the teepees that were kindly set up on our school field by Teepee Con Amici.

Also this week, we have been: creating our own rhythms in Music and creating a glossary of musical terms; designing menus and other items for our Italian Café on Wednesday afternoon; and using watercolour paints to create our Italian landscapes, the first layers are drying ready for us to add details in our final layer.

Next week, we will be filming our TV adverts and sharing them with the class, hopefully some will be ready to share on Wednesday. We will also be welcoming parents to our Italian Café from 1.30pm on Wednesday – the children are very excited to share their culinary skills with you. We will also complete our Italian landscapes. Have a great weekend. I look forward to our last week together in Year 4!
