This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been writing a diary entry in English, using a story called 'Taking Flight' as their inspiration. They have demonstrated great imagination and have focused on including adverbs, adjectives and co-ordinating conjunctions in their work. In Maths, they have started learning about time, including looking at the 5-minute intervals on a clock. In Science, they have continued to learn about rocks, looking at the rock cycle and creating their own very realistic fossils. Year 3 have been working very hard learning their times tables each morning, also working on them at home. Their progress is really starting to show, well done! Year 4 – have created their final art pieces using all they have learnt this term about environmental art. They took some amazing photos using the iPads and were really inspired by nature. Their printmaking was just as impressive! In Maths, they finished their money topic this week by taking part in two ‘practical’ lessons. Year 4 had to plan a party and needed to budget accordingly and then had the chance to plan their own dream playground. In Science, they looked deeply at the different causes of habitat damage. In English, most children have finished writing their newspaper reports about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. It has been a busy week! Year 5 – have been working hard in Maths, improving their understanding of co-ordinates. As the week progressed, they built on this knowledge by translating points and shapes on a grid. In English, they have been focusing on poetry, the children have really impressed us with their creativity and natural rhyming talent. During the afternoons, Year 5 have expanded their knowledge of volcanoes in Asia, by looking more specifically at the causes of volcanoes and the impact of their eruptions. Finally, they have been lucky enough to experiment with some real henna in Art, the children designed their own mehndi patterns to create a final piece. Year 6 – have had another busy week! After last week with their SATs, this week the Year 6 children have been working hard again - but this time on their writing. They have been researching wolves and have started writing a non-chronological report on the subject. In Science they have started their new topic about the circulatory system and in Art, the children have produced their own environment painting showing one-point perspective. Outside of the classroom, the children have taken part in auditions for our end of year production, The Island That Rocks. We were very impressed with the acting and singing skills we saw and will find it very hard to cast the production! Comments are closed.
