Our learning this week - Mon 1st Dec - Fri 5th Dec

English

This week we continued writing our information report on our chosen animal. We began by writing a short introduction about our animal and tried to include some key information as well as using noun phrases and commas in a list. 

Next week, we will be completing the last 3 sub sections of our report and will publish then neatly. 

Maths

We used the week to consolidate all our learning from the term. We recapped on place value, addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. We will be completing our end of term assessment next week. This will allow us to focus on key areas and calculations that we may still be finding difficult. 

Science

We continued our unit 'Electricity' this week and explored the ways in which we can create a circuit. We then looked at conductors and insulators. We then created the circuits in pairs and tested different materials to see if they conducted electricity. The children had a great time experimenting and being independent. We finished the lesson by testing lots of different objects in the classroom! 

PE

This week we continued our new unit of gymnastics. The children began exploring the equipment, creating routines at different levels and incorporating all the skills they've learnt this term. 

Art

This week began exploring our new topic of Art. We began by looking at the artist Yayoi Kasuma and how she created portraits using different mediums. We then experimented with charcoal, chalk and paint and began to create our backgrounds for our final piece.

PE Kits

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