Another hot week - we are now over halfway through our final half-term together! Please see below for our learning and achievements:
English: This week we continued two more of our sentence stacking lessons and focused on questioning and repetition.
Maths: We continued our learning of fractions and consolidated our understanding of comparing and ordering mixed numbers.
Science: We continued our topic of Electricity and constructed our own electrical circuit using wires, a cell and a battery. We spoke about how the circuit needs to be a connected loop to allow for electricity to flow.
Spanish: We consolidated our understanding of Se (I Know How to) by focusing on the 10 verbs we learnt and showing our understanding through speaking, listening, reading and writing challenges.
PSHE: We continued our topic of Changing Me and focused on how to make a baby. As a class, we first had to choose the components needed to make a baby, oak tree, cake and car. We then wrote down our ideas for why couples choose to have a baby and the greatest responsibility. We decided that the main reasons for having a baby are because the parents love each other, and they want a family and the greatest responsibility is making sure they are always safe, provided food and comfort.
RE: We continued our topic of Prayer and Worship and looked at the similarities and differences between places of worship, holy books and traditions in different religions. We then focused on Baptism and why it is important.
History: We continued our topic of Stuarts and focused on the Great Plague of 1665. We already had knowledge of our English topic last half-term but learnt more about the symptoms and cures.
Geography: We started our topic of Japan and on a map identified the four main islands, seas and oceans, the capital city and Mount Fuji.
PE: We practised the egg and spoon and sack race ready for Sports Day next week!
Dance: We learnt a new dance with Miss Whyborn.
Spellings: -tion and -sion suffix.
Handwriting: Odd and even and double m.
Guided Reading: Retrieval questions based on Michael Murpurgo texts.
Art: We began to plot on our bookmarks and are in the middle of our cross-stitching. We can't wait to show you the final result!
