Our learning this week - 3rd Nov - 7th Nov

English

This week we began our new writing unit. We will be producing an information text based around the book 'Fox' by Margret Wilde. We began the week by immersing ourselves within the new text and learning lots of new vocabulary. We then were able to construct sentences with the words and also began to read the example text based around magpies which will help us to produce our own information text on foxes!

Maths

We began our new unit of multiplication and division. The children learnt how to create equal groups and how this can also be shown as an array. We also worked on writing the representations into number sentences hand how we can breakdown a question we are given.  

Science

We began our new unit 'Electricity' this week and explored the school looking for any appliance or object that uses electricity. We also looked at how some object are battery powered and how the energy is stored inside. We finished the lesson by looking at the different ways that electricity can be produced including solar panels and wind turbines.

PE

This week we began our new unit of gymnastics. The children began exploring different shapes and how we can link those shapes to jumps and movements. We ended the week looking at some balances and how we and include them into a short routine.

Music

This week we began 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. Next week we will begin to experiment with different shapes and how we can meet the design criteria.
