Our learning last week:
English - We continued looking at our new book this week - The Journey by Francesca Sanna. This week we began writing our stories about the book. We are trying to include fronted adverbials, speech using a comma following a reporting clause. We are also focusing on using alternative nouns or synonyms in our writing to avoid repetition.
Maths - This week in maths we have continued our learning on fractions. This week we looked at mixed number fractions and improper fractions. We continued by comparing and ordering fractions including on a numberline. Finally we looked at fraction families and equivalent fractions.
Reading - In Guided Reading we are looking at webpages and how to navigate and find information. We then had to answer some comprehension questions on the information we found.
Science - This term we are looking at Animals including humans. The children have looked at teeth. We looked at the digestive system and set up an experiment to see how this worked using tights, a plastic bag, orange juice and water to create fake poo!
DT - We began our new topic where we will be designing and creating an African vehicle. It will need to move on its own with a motor and carry weight over different surfaces.
RE - The children are looking at Christianity this half term. We are investigating the big question 'Why do Christians call the day Jesus died Good Friday?' We began by looking at the Big Story from the Bible and creating a timeline for the parts we have learned about: Creation, Fall, Incarnation, Gospel and finally Salvation.
PE - This term we are continuing our dance in preparation for this year's dance extravaganza. Moving on to Hockey and OAA.
French - The children are learning how to say what we are doing.
PSHE - We are looking at caring relationships and what makes a good friend.
