This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been investigating a “crime scene” in the school courtyard! They found a giant footprint, lots of metal cooking equipment scattered around and messages written on the wall saying 'feed me!' and 'I'll be back'. They have come up with many theories about who the “intruder” could be. In Maths, they have started to learn about fractions with a focus on identifying the denominator and numerator. They have been ordering unit fractions and finding the whole. In Humanities they have worked with a partner to create an information booklet about Pre-historic times. They then presented their work to the class. Year 4 – have been learning about mixed and improper fractions. In English, they have been writing a character description about a Mr Men or Little Miss character they designed. In Science, Year 4 were excited to use their knowledge of the digestive system to help them replicate it. In History, they explored art from Ancient Rome and practiced their own mosaic pattern. In DT, Year 4 researched and analysed a range of children's toys. Year 5 – have begun writing a narrative about a time when they had to time-travel due to an unfortunate incident - they had such creative ideas! They have also used a lot of the success criteria and have impressed the teachers very much! The children have also worked hard in Maths exploring percentages and deepening their understanding by looking at percentages as fractions and decimals. In Science, children have started a new topic - Earth and Space. In Humanities, the children learnt about King Pakal and found out why he was an important King for Mayans. The teachers have been impressed by the children's positive attitude towards learning and how industrious they have been! Year 6 – have once again worked really hard across all areas of the curriculum. In English, they have edited and published their letters, ready to send to Miss Digweed, persuading her to allow them to have another Year 6 Take-over day in the summer term. In Maths, they have continued solving problems involving algebra, these have included: finding pairs of values and solving problems with two unknowns. In Science, they have enjoyed planning and carrying out an experiment to see how shadows behave; they have now completed their learning on the topic of light. Comments are closed.
