It has been wonderful to welcome the children back into class and hear all about their exciting Easter breaks!

In English, we have started our new unit, an explanation text, based on a brilliant picture book by Roger McGough titled, ‘Until I met Dudley’.

The children looked at some common appliances such as a toaster and created labelled diagrams, flowcharts and wrote short explanations using causal conjunctions and fronted adverbials to explain how they work. We also looked at video clips from Wallace and Gromit, describing ‘cracking contraptions’, such as The Snoozatron, The Tellyscope or The Autochef.

In Maths, we spent the week revising, going through areas of Maths we have covered since September such as Place Value, number representation, formal addition/subtraction, formal multiplication/division, fractions, measurements and shapes/angles.

In RE, the children looked at all four Gospel writers’ interpretation of the Resurrection and made comparisons before identifying the common truths that form the basis of our beliefs.

In PE, the children started their next unit of Rounders with Mrs Heymoz on Wednesday, whilst in Science we looked at melting points and carried out a practical investigation before moving on to our next unit of Electricity. The class looked at identifying what electricity changes in common appliances (movement, sound, light, heat).

I hope you have a lovely weekend,

Ms Varga
