Our Learning Last Week
Week Commencing February 19th
Guided Reading
This week's guided reading sessions have focused on The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken. The children have used their inference skills to discuss characters' feelings, thoughts and motives using the text to justify their thinking. They have also used skimming and scanning skills to find key vocabulary, and evidence from the text.
English
This week, the children have focused on a variety of grammar features such as using fronted adverbials and using the perfect present tense. They have written paragraphs using a variety of sentence structures in order to make their writing interesting and focused heavily on using first person narration to build up their knowledge of first person narration in preparation for their independent write next week.
Maths
The children have continued to build on their learning from before half term on decimals. We have ordered and compared numbers with up to 3 decimal places, and learnt to round numbers with up to 3 decimal places both to the nearest whole as well as one decimal place.
This term's Christian value
This term's Christian value is justice. We will be exploring this topic throughout our collective worship this term, as well as discussing in class what is meant by justice and what justice looks like in our every day life.
