​This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been working really hard on their character description in English. They have taken the protagonist from the Tin Forest and used the images in the book to develop wonderful sentences to describe the character. They have used adjectives, paragraphs and other grammar features to enable the reader to fully imagine the character in their heads. In Maths, they have continued their investigation into place value by looking at number lines to 1000. They have their knowledge of number lines and place value to both accurately place numbers as well as estimate where they think the numbers should go. In Geography, they have looked at their maps skills by drawing their very own map of Iver using OS symbols. In Science, they have continued to work scientifically in their investigation to see which seed will grow the best and have looked at the functions of different scientific equipment. In French, they have recapped different greetings and have learnt to how to tell people what their name is in French.
Year 4 – have continued learning about place value, they have found 1, 10, 100 and a 1000 more or less of a number and have been learning how to flexibly partition numbers up to 1000. In English, children have been writing instructions about how to make their own recycled robot. In Science, they have been learning how water can change state and that temperature can affect the state of water. In PSHE, they explored the Right of the Child and what that means as well as learning all about plastic pollution in Guided Reading as part of their book this term 'One Plastic Bag'.
Year 5 – have begun to write a narrative based on the video 'The Girl and the Fox' - the ambitious vocabulary and powerful adjectives they have used have been remarkable! In Maths, children have delved more in to place value by applying their mathematical skills working with numbers up to a million. The children have continued reading the class book 'The Adventures of Odysseus' and their enthusiastic contributions have been inspiring. The children also applied the knowledge they have learnt about materials to design an item to protect egg! Their designs were creative and they managed to protect 4 eggs! In Humanities, the children continued to explore China, learning more about its landscapes. It has been a busy week in Year 5!
Year 6 – have been finishing their stories about a dragon slayer - they have been using some great descriptive vocabulary for setting and character descriptions. In Maths, the children have been looking at place value and have also had a focus on arithmetic. The children have continued their science topic on Evolution and Inheritance and have been looking at the ways organisms have adapted to suit their environment. In History, they have been finding out more about Henry VIII and in pairs, did some research and created PowerPoints about the Tudor monarch before deciding if they thought he had been a good king or a bad king. The children have worked with charcoal in Art this week and have produced some Maya-inspired word art using the technique of chiaroscuro - using light and dark to create form and impact.
