Friday 16th May

This week we completed watercolour paintings for VE Day, which we started last week. In English, we have started reading ‘Who Let the Gods Out’, which links with our topic of Ancient Greece. The children were very engaged and loved the funny, adventurous plot. We have read aloud as a class and will be using the book to inspire some writing. In Science, we learnt about the different types of teeth and came up with actions to help us remember them.

 

 

Friday 9th May

The children have all been very engaged in the topic of Ancient Greece and developed their understanding of chronology as they placed key events of the period onto a timeline.  We also began looking at the significance of Alexander the Great.  The children progressed from dividing two-digit numbers to dividing 3-digit numbers with great success, and we completed our unit on money. In Art, we began learning about the origins of Greek pottery and what the functions of different designs were. We look forward to writing the end of our own myths so we can edit our draft and write our best version in our Big Write books. 4 Jackson continues to enjoy their cricket sessions and their catching and batting skills are showing much improvement. 

 

 

 

Friday 2nd May

This week the children have loved our Greek myths topic in English. They learnt the story of Perseus and Medusa, created their own mythical beasts as a group and then designed their individual creatures ready to plan their own myths. In Maths, we have been dividing 2-digit numbers, estimating with money and solving problems with money. The children found dividing a little bit tricky but persevered and really did themselves proud. We started our new topic of digestion in Science and the class were very excited learning about how clever the human body is! We have also been developing our cricket skills.
