Our Learning This Week

Maths
This week, we have been learning about square numbers, cube numbers, and prime numbers. The children explored the properties of each type of number and practised identifying them in different contexts. We have also been developing our understanding of dividing by 10, 100, and 1,000, using place value knowledge to explain how digits move when numbers are scaled.

English
In English, we have started our new book, Origin of Species. The children have immersed themselves in the text, exploring the fascinating information and illustrations it contains. We have also recapped synonyms and antonyms, building our vocabulary and understanding of how word choices can affect meaning.

Topic – Art
In Art, we have begun our new project on topography maps. The children explored examples of artwork inspired by maps and contours, discussing the different techniques artists use. They then began sketching their own contour maps, carefully considering shape, line, and detail in their designs.

PE
In PE, we have continued with our basketball unit. The children enjoyed playing mini matches to apply their existing skills before focusing on marking and blocking. Through a range of activities, they developed their defensive awareness and learned how to position themselves effectively during a game.
