Term 1 Week 5 4.10.24

In English, we have continued to focus on our text ‘Goodnight, Mister Tom’. We saw William’s home life in London and compared this to his life with Mr Tom. We used our prediction skills to predict what will happen now that Mr Tom has rescued him. The children have produced some great learning this week – well done all!

In Maths, Year 5 have completed their addition and subtraction unit. The children have looked at column addition and subtraction, finding missing numbers, inverses and comparing number sentences. Year 6 have begun to look at multiplication. The begun by looking at prime numbers to 100, moving to square and cubed numbers and finishing with multiplying 4 digit numbers by 2 and 3 digit numbers.

In Science, we have started to look at classifying plants. We looked at pictures of plants and trees around our outdoor area, drew pictures and labelled these pictures ready to classify in the next lesson.

In Geography, we have begun to look at maps and using keys to read maps. We produced a map of our local area and used a key to read it.

In RE, we discussed karma and reincarnation.

In PE, we have looked at football and basketball skills ready to begin to play games next lesson.

We had a special author visitor this week: Hywel Roberts.  He taught a creative history lesson with the children using drama and role play to further consolidate their learning of life during WW2. They were amazing.
