In Maths, we have been continuing our learning with place value. This week we have looked at representing numbers to 10,000, partitioning numbers and discussing various problems relating to these areas.
We did lots of work on how we can flexibly partition the numbers in different ways, and how the same number can be added differently, but still total the same answer.
In Science, we began our unit on The Human Body.
We have been looking at involuntary muscles being the muscles that we cannot control, including our heart and voluntary muscles, the muscles that we can control.
Pupils had to write about what a voluntary and involuntary muscle was, and then we had a class discussion on parts of the body they thought were voluntary or involuntary and why.
In Geography, we looked at what a compass was and how these are used to support navigation. Pupils had to label a compass with all 8 points.
We then looked at a map of King's Lynn. Using this compass, we identified places around us that are within the points on the compass.
In English, we have been continuing our sentence stacking lessons where we have looked at what the wolf's inner thoughts might be when he realises that he has no sugar for his cake. Pupils have had to use complex sentences to show how the wolf was walking to the straw house and repetition in sentences for effect.
In R. E. we started our learning on the following enquiry question: "Does joining the Khalsa make someone a better Sikh?"
The pupils discussed clubs they belong to and what it feels like to belong to a group/community. Pupils discussed what they had to do to be part of their chosen club, how they have a sense of belonging and the feelings they felt throughout, such as; proud, happy, excited, respected. Pupils had the opportunity to watch a video where a child went to a martial arts club and shared the feelings she felt before joining and when she had joined. As well as this, the child shared how they represent their club, the uniform they wear and how they feel wearing the uniform.
