Early in the week, MP3 were kind enough to share their learning with us about water pollution. This is a topic that is very close to our hearts and we soon found out MP2's love for animals and our Earth. We really are principled learners. We then built on our knowledge by researching further in our table teams. To embed our learning we used our literacy, presentation and drama skills to create a video, sharing the information and engaging our audience to think about what they can do to limit water pollution.
Check out our videos of our prior learning about the water cycle!

Year 4
MathsThis week the Year 4 learners have been using their rounding, estimation and partitioning skills to help them with mental subtraction. They have been practising mental subtraction In two main ways. Carefully subtracting parts of numbers in their heads, partitioning, as well as rounding numbers up or down to make them easier to mentally subtract. When rounding the had to remember to adjust their answers by thinking about how much they rounded by. Both of these skills were then put to use by thinking about real life word problems and with a fun classroom mental math treasure hunt. | LiteracyThis week the Year 4's started a literacy unit of Poetry. Through the poem they have been introduced to alliteration. Alliteration is where most of the words in a sentence have the same beginning letter or sound. The learners have explored and played with words to write entertaining alliteration sentences using their names.

Year 3
MathsIn maths we have been using different methods to practise subtracting numbers mentally. We used adding on to find the difference between two amounts and used approximations to make difficult amounts easier to calculate in our heads. | LiteracyThis week in literacy we have been writing instructions for baking biscuits. We watched a video recipe of how to bake gingerbread and listened carefully to see if we could hear the imperative verbs. We have been practising how to accurately use adverbs and conjunctions in a sentence to make our instructions more clear to the reader. |
