It has been so lovely to welcome the children back, and we are looking forward to another busy and fun half-term together! Our learning and achievements for the week:

 

Maths: We continued our learning of times-tables by focusing on the 11x and 12x times-tables. We have been using TT Rockstars to practice our multiplication check!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

English: We started our new book, The Whale. We researched different types of whales and used a photo of the main character Lucy to infer how she is an adventurer.

Science: We started our new topic of Ecology and created fact files on different habitats, such as the rainforest, Arctic, desert, pond and ocean. We researched the conditions, weather, animals and plants, what they eat and how they survive within the habitat.

Geography: We started our new topic of Eastern Europe. We divided into Balkan and Baltic countries alongside the capital cities.

PE: We began our half-term of gymnastics with Mr Watson.

Reading: We focused on retrieval questions based on Around the World texts.

Handwriting: We focused on hard letters b, k and p.

Spellings: We focused on syllable division. 

Gap Analysis: We focused on areas of improvement from our last set of assessments. In Maths, we showed different representations of numbers up and beyond 1000 through base-10, numberlines and measuring jugs. In Reading, we sequenced events and in GPS we identified and use Standard English.
