Year 4
LiteracyThis week we have completed our Roman news reports. It was very exciting to dress up in the appropriate clothing for our character and work on our expression and intonation for the video. We used our script writing skills to help us know what to say and work on our timings. We have moved on to learning about society by watching, reading and retelling myths from around the world. To show our knowledge and understanding, we have planned the characters, objects and settings we will need to make to produce a stop-motion video next week. | MathsIn maths we have been practising our learning about time. We refreshed our memories with a team quiz and Find the Fiction. We used online games to help us practise converting the time from analogue to digital or vice versa. We later went on to show our understanding by answering challenging word problems involving time, some of us were super resilient and even tried being as accurate as the nearest minute. Let us show you our time skills at home. |
Year 3
LiteracyLiteracy this week has been linked to the Active Planet unit. We have learnt about a Myth from Hawaii; Pele, the Volcano Goddess. Our learning outcome is to be able to retell the story in our own words and to illustrate it. We first read and then watched a video of the story. We stopped the video to make notes of the most important parts of the story. We found there were six significant events in the story. We are now in the process of drafting the story in our own words. | MathsThis week Year 3 have started learning about fractions. We have learnt that the bottom number of the fraction is called the denominator and tells us the number of equal pieces a whole shape is split into. The top number is called the numerator and tells us how many pieces of the whole shape we are talking about. We practised making fractions by cutting rounds of watermelon. We were then able to eat the watermelon but only if we could say what fraction we were eating! |
