Term 1 Week 2

It has been another busy week of learning. We have continued to look at the story of Robinson Crusoe, and started the week focusing on how to use verbs to describe a character. We describe the character of Miss Trunchbull to show how we would change the mood of our writing. We then looked at how we could use similes to create setting descriptions. 

In Maths we have continued to look at place value and have been representing numbers up to 10, 000 using number lines, part - whole models and manipulatives to gain a really secure understanding of number. 

In Geography we used atlases to locate some of the major countries and islands in Europe and plotted these on a blank map. In Art we looked at the work of artist Damien Hirst and discussed what we did and didn't like about his art work. In Science we predicted whether we could see in the dark or not, and then conducted an experiment to prove it. In Computing we looked at how to add images, text and transitions to a Powerpoint all about Maidstone. 

We hope you have a lovely weekend, 

Mr Saunders, Mrs Hendry and Miss Parkes.
