Term 1 Week 7

We cannot believe a whole term has flown by already! To finish off our topic of Island Life, we have looked at play scripts in our Literacy this week. We have identified the features and layout of scripts and then had a go at writing our own including stage directions and character directions. 

In Maths Year 4 have been looking at column addition and subtraction including calculations with exchanging and regrouping. Year 3 have been looking at expanded column subtraction with up to one exchange. 

In our Geography we were learning the skill of comparing the geographies of different islands. We used the three islands we have studied this term to make poster presentations about their similarities and differences. In Music we were appreciating music from different cultures by listening to traditional music from Trinidad and Tobago, Indonesia, Scotland and Japan. We tried to identify the instruments we could hear and discussed what we thought about them. In computing we have been learning to create documents for a specified purpose, we did this by designing a PowerPoint including images, text, transitions and animations. 

We hope you have a relaxing half term and look forward to seeing you back on Tuesday 28th October.
