Term 3 week 5

Hello :) 

Oak Class have been outstanding this week and have produced some amazing learning they should be proud of! 

English 

In English this week we have finished looking at book reviews. We wrote our own book review on the alternative story 'The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig'. We loved the story and Oak Class amazed me with their vocabulary choices including 'demolish their homes' and 'continue on his beastly ways'. 

Maths 

In Maths this week we have been looking at identifying equal and unequal groups and recapping on counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s in order to support us with multiplication. Oak Class have been fantastic at this skill and have been applying their knowledge to problem solving. 

Afternoons 

This week we looked at recognising the differences between the past and present in history. We compared how things have changed between the time of Henry VIII and now and then sorted the changes into themes including technology, transport and the power of the Monarchy. I was really impressed with their discussions around the changes and they were able to discuss which change they felt had the biggest impact on people today. 

We have also looked at different materials and their properties in science. We compared different materials and how their properties can change. We conducted a simple experiment for this and then recorded our results in a table.
