Term 1 Week 3

In Literacy this week we have been looking at newspaper features and how they are laid out. We spent time looking at real newspapers to see how the presentation is different to other genres. We then learned about writing consistently in the past tense and speech marks which we will be using in our newspaper reports in the future. 

In Maths, we have all been looking at flexible partitioning and adding and taking away multiples of 10. Year 3 have been working on numbers up to 1000, and Year 4 have been working with numbers up to 10,000. 

In History we looked at chronology and timelines. We took cards with facts about key eras in history and tried to order them based on the details we knew about their technology and lifestyles. In Art we looked at how chalk pastels create different effects to oil pastels and used these to design artwork based on cave paintings.

We hope you have a lovely weekend, 

Mr Saunders and Miss Rackley.
