Our learning this week - 10th Nov - 14th Nov

English

This week we continued our writing unit - Information Report. We will be producing an information text based around the book 'Fox' by Margret Wilde. We began the week by researching facts about foxes and what information we could include in our report. We finished the week by planning what information we wanted to include in our report.

Maths

We continued with multiplication and division and looked at arrays, sharing and grouping. The children have been working hard to understand the correlation between numbers and how numbers can be divided and shared. 

Science

We continued our new unit 'Electricity' this week and explored the ways in which we need to be safe with electricity. We thought about why it is important to be safe around electricity and suggested ways in which we could do this. 

PE

This week we continued our new unit of gymnastics. The children began exploring different balances and rolls and how we can link them together to create simple and effective routines. 

DT

This week we continued our DT unit. Within this unit we will be building our own Viking longboats. First we explored different types of boats and how they are constructed and powered. We experimented with different materials and thought about how we would meet the design criteria to ensure our boat met the objectives. Next week we will begin to construct our boats. 

PE Kits

Our PE days will be Wednesdays and Thursdays. Children will need to be dressed in full PE kit when coming to school.
