Friday Fives
Here are five things to ask your child about this week:
1) What have you been learning with Mrs Walker?
2) What is your topic this term?
3) What has happened in your class novel?
4) What have you made for your island?
5) What have you been learning in maths?
Photos and regular updates on Google Classroom.
In Literacy we have been reading The Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson and studying the descriptions of setting and character, and coming up with our own theories and predictions.
We have combined our book study with our Greek Mythology topic and have created our own mythical islands. We have used our maths skills to create maps, work out the area, write directions and we have also learned about measuring to create our potion recipes.
We have also been learning about fractions in maths and are practising our times tables and division skills.
In PE we have had our specialist in on Tuesdays to teach us about gymnastics and we have had fun creating sequences using balances, jumps and rolls.
Mrs Walker takes us for STEM subjects on Monday mornings and we have been programming Microbits to simulate earthquakes and testing whether are K'Nex buildings are earthquake proof.
