Term 4, Week 5

What a lovely sunny week we have had!

This week we have welcomed Miss Prentice. She will be working in our class to further support our learning. All the children have made her feel very welcome.

In Literacy we have continued to read Cosmic. We have explored how to write sentences using fronted adverbials linking these to the text. We planned a next chapter based on a theme park ride and then wrote this as part of our hot write piece. We will finish the book next week before we break up.

In our Guided Reading sessions, we have been continuing to make inferences from the materials we have read.

In Maths, Year 5 and Year 6 have been learning about statistics. This has involved line graphs, bar charts and pie charts. We have explored what information we can get from them and answered questions based on them.

In Science, we researched facts about the moon. We wrote an information text about it, finding out about Galileo Galilei and his contribution to the discovery of space. We found out about how the moon determines the tides too. 

In RE we discussed the similarities between Muslim and Christian sacred buildings. We explored why cathedrals are important to Christians and Mosques are important to Muslims.

In DT linked to Computing, we explored space food and how space food is specially packaged by dehydrating it first. Did you know that urine is filtered and used whilst astronauts are in space. This filtered urine, with water, is used to hydrate their packaged food. We designed our own meals that could be dehydrated ensuring that all the right nutrients are in the meal.

In PE we continued with street dance, which the children have loved and really got involved with. We have also continued to develop our skills in tennis.

We will finalise this term's learning as we enter our last week before we break up for the Easter holiday.

Have a good weekend. Don't forget the clocks go forward this weekend!!
