This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been working hard to finish off their newspaper reports. They have used the features of a newspaper to help tell people about the events that occurred in their class text, ' The Stone Age Boy'. In Maths, they have completed their Autumn 2 assessments for arithmetic and reasoning and should be very proud of themselves! In P.S.H.E they have looked at hurtful words and how they may affect people. In History, they have looked at trade in the Stone Age and role played being a Stone Age person. They had to negotiate and exchange goods and services to make sure that their tribe could survive the incoming winter. In French, they continued their learning about the seasons and learnt how to talk and write about summer in French. In Science, they have started to looked at the muscles in the body and how they make us move. This week they looked at the tricep and the bicep and how they help us to bend and straighten our arms. Year 4 – have finished writing, editing and publishing their amazing poems about Arthur's adventure to the land of the gods. They have also started researching Iceland to find out lots of information for their travel brochure. In Maths, the children have been consolidating their knowledge about everything they have learnt in the Autumn term. In Science, Year 4 have conducted an investigation about how distance can affect the volume of sound. They used different equipment such as a decibel meter, alarm clock and measuring tape. In DT, the children had fun making and tasting their seasonal vegetable soup. In French, the children have been learning how to introduce family members, learning to use ‘il/elle s’appelle’ (he/she is called). Year 5 – have been busy learning to add mixed numbers and their application of previously acquired skills and knowledge has been impressive! The children have also begun to write a diary entry as Kat - a prominent character in their class book. The embedding of Kat's emotions as well as the success criteria features (which is very challenging to do) by the children have been exceptional! In Science, the young scientists observed the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment to learn more about irreversible reactions and in Geography, the children learnt about trade and the economy in China. Children in Year 5 have shown some amazing skills at playing violins too! It has been a fun but busy week for Year 5! Year 6 – have started a new piece of writing in English. They are building on their skills from their last piece of writing and will be re-telling another story, Glued, focussing on creating great settings and character descriptions. In Maths, they are continuing to learn about converting metric measures. This week in PSHE, the children looked at Paralympians and created an award that they would like to present to their chosen Paralympian to reflect the obstacles that athlete has had to overcome in order to achieve their goals. They have been learning about harmful and helpful micro-organisms in Science; and had a great afternoon creating volcanoes linked to their geography topic, South America. Comments are closed.
