Our learning this week - 17th Nov - 21st 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 managed to complete our writing ensuring we had our key features including subheadings. They included reputation, appearance and interesting facts. We will be moving onto chosing our own information text topic next week in our writing for pleasure unit.

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. We ended the week looking at the 4x and 8x tables.  

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 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.
