Our learning this week - Spring Term
English
This week, we've been immersing ourselves with some of the illustrations, vocab and descriptive phrases from Ted Hughes' Iron Man. They have been exploring how the Iron Man looks and behaves and have already done a small descriptive setting write.
Maths
Building on our multiplication and division times table work from last term, the children are now learning how to apply this with multiplying a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number. We've also been looking at how we can partition large numbers into 10s and 1s to help with larger calculations e.g. 32 x 5 can be split into 30 x 5 and 2 x 5.
Science
Today we investigated how well different materials reflect back light and why this might be. The children got to test white card, black card, tin foil and bubble wrap, to see which reflected the most light and which reflected the least light.
Eisteddfod Competition
The performance competition is upon us once again. This year we will open up the competition to also allow solo musical acts. All children at White Waltham, Knowl Hill and Bisham will take part in the competition and will perform one poem or piece of music/song that they have learnt. Class teachers will judge the first round to select five winners from each class on Friday 24th January. Successful children will perform in front of a panel of judges on 14th February 2025. During this afternoon, a winner from each class will be decided. We are hoping that the final will take place on Thursday 6th March 2025 at 6pm at Cox Green School. The winners will perform their poem/musical piece/song once again and this year there will be a winner from each year group. We hope that all parents/carers will be welcome to attend the final. PLEASE SEE HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR POEM EXAMPLES.
Each week the class will also be doing PE (Mon and Wed), RE, PSHE, French and Guided Reading, tying in with our topic theme, where possible.
Our value this term is courage.
