Spring 1 Week 4

In English, the children have been learning about non-chronological reports. They have looked at many different non-fiction texts and identified the features. Then they looked at animal books and organised information into subheadings. Next week, they will be writing their own non-chronological reports.

In Maths, the children have been learning column subtraction with and without regrouping. They have practised using Dienes equipment. They enjoyed playing a game to help them to understand how we regroup 1 ten into 10 ones.

In Science, we learnt about how fossils were formed. We also learnt about what soil is made from.

In Religion, we listen to the story Sermon on the Mount and then learnt about the Beatitudes. The children matched the beginning and end of some of the Beatitudes to help them to remember. We thought about how we can use the Beatitudes in our lives.

In PE, the children were developing their sequences on the apparatus. They made improvements to their spins, balances and jumps.

The children, this week, completed some shared writing before planning and writing their final extended narratives based on our class story, ‘The Spider and the Fly.

In Maths, they spent the week converting between units of length, mass and capacity before extending that towards converting between units of time.

In Computing, the class completed practical activities to model the Internet as a network of networks, including switches and routers and thought about ways to keep networks safe.

In PE, they created longer routines with the same Roman theme, whilst in art,  they used pastel crayons to add colour and texture to their still life.

In RE, the children looked at the structure of the Beatitudes and used different sources to help them explain these. They came up with some lovely reflections and could articulate their beliefs well.

I wish you all a lovely weekend,

Ms Varga
