Another busy week in 4E! Please see below all of our fantastic learning and achievements:
Maths: We have continued to plug gaps in our learning by rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 and adding 2-digit and 3-digit numbers using the written method.
English: We have continued with our sentence-stacking lessons based on our playscript, The Plague of Eyam. We focused on dialogue (showing feelings), adverbs (stage direction), 5 senses, action and ellipses.
Science: We continued our topic of the Water Cycle and focused on precipitation. We learnt the names of the different clouds and the process of water moving from clouds back to the surface of the Earth.
History: We continued our learning of the Stuarts by focusing on the English Civil War, which started from 1642 to 1649 in which Charles I led the country into war by raising taxes and not calling on Parliament. The war was between the Parliamentarians (those who supported the Parliament) and the Royalists (those who supported the King). The conflict led to the King being executed for treason; the country had no King and 4% of the population died.
RE: We continued our worldview of Buddhism. We looked at the Noble Eightfold Path and considered examples of how we can follow this path in our lives.
PSHE: We continued our topic of Relationships and focused on love and loss. We learnt about the cycle of grief and maturely spoke about situations where we have lost something or someone special to us. We then had different scenarios where we discussed our feelings.
Art: For the past few weeks, we have drawn and painted our own Byzantine patterns based on the Hagia Sofia. We learnt that the Hagia Sofia translates to Holy Wisdom and was created as a church in Constantinople.
Dance: We enjoyed our session with Miss Whyborn dancing to Steve's Lava Chicken!
Swimming: More children moved up to the Big Pool and focused on their strokes while more of us in the small pool gained confidence by breathing underwater and putting our faces in the water!
Guided Reading: Retrieval questions based on Rainbow Week extracts.
Handwriting: Ascenders and double 'f'.
Spellings: Spelling rule of contractions.
Gap Analysis: Reading focused on a character's behaviours and motives.
