Term 1 Week 4

This week in Literacy we have been looking at using punctuation correctly. We rehearsed a dialogue between the characters in our story, before using these ideas to practice punctuating direct speech correctly. We also looked at how to use subordinating conjunctions to extend our sentences. 

In Maths we have been continuing to look at place value. Year 3 have looked at estimating numbers to 1000 on a number line, and using this to compare and order numbers. Year 4 have looked at comparing and ordering numbers to 10,000 and converting numbers to Roman Numerals. 

In Geography this week we looked at the physical and human geography of Malta and how this compared to our study of Kent from last week. In Computing we looked at how to use Microsoft Publisher to create a brochure. In Science we used mirrors to investigate how light is reflected and how we can change the direction that light is travelling. In Art we looked at pointillism and created pointillist art works to show how we could combine the three primary colours to make secondary colours and then change the tone of these using black and white paints. 

We hope you have a lovely weekend, 

Mr Saunders, Mrs Hendry and Miss Parkes.
