Learning Journey
Year 4
MathsYear 4 have been continuing our shape learning this week, particularly focusing on 3D shapes. We used Venn and Carroll diagrams to sort a mixture of shapes according to their properties. Towards the end of the week we have been showing our understanding by applying all our shape knowledge and skills to answer word problems. | LiteracyThis week during Literacy year 4 have been reading, following and practising writing sets of instructions! We wrote some instructions on How to Brush Your Teeth for Milepost 1. If our instructions are correct, then Milepost 1 will have squeaky clean teeth! We have also been reading some of Roald Dahl's book, George's Marvellous Medicine. Even though it was disgusting, we wrote a set of instructions for how to make his medicine. Next we are going to make our own horrid concoction using lots of strange ingredients and write a set of instructions for that too! |
Year 3
LiteracyThis week in literacy we used our previous learning to write a recount about our Pchum Ben holiday. We planned our story, making sure we had all the events in chronological order. Before writing we were given a checklist so we could remember all the things our writing needs to have. After our recounts, we started exploring a new type of poem - Diamante poems. Do you know diamante is Italian for diamond? | MathsIn maths this week, we practised doubling and halving. We used blocks to demonstrate the link between repeated addition and timetables. We worked as a class to find a pattern for doubles. We discovered double 3 is the same as 3 + 3 and 2 times 3. We then worked in our groups to find doubles all the way up to 24. Once we had completed this using blocks, we used Minecraft to show this pattern. It was really fun! |
