Our learning this week - 24th Nov - 28th Nov

English

This week we began our 'Writing for Pleasure' unit which is to write our own Information report based upon an animal of our choosing. We began the week by looking at different texts and recapping the key features of an information report. At the end of the week, we began to create a mind map of features and ideas for our chosen animal. In sentence accuracy we focused on conjunctions and commas in a list.

Maths

We continued with multiplication and division and looked at our 4x and 8x tables. We ended the week recapping some of the key concepts of division and multiplication. 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 can create a circuit. We looked at all the components of a circuit and their roles. We then created the circuits in pairs and discussed open and closed circuits. 

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 completed our DT unit. Within this unit we will be building our own Viking longboats and have managed to construct them. We need to test our boats at the beginning of next week to ensure we have met all the design criteria statements. The children have worked really hard and produced some amazing 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.
