Writing / IDL Project
As we continue to look at World War II, we have been discussing why our Country went into Blackout on the 1st September 1939. We have looked at the various posters and information issued by the British Government and why it was so important for everyone to play their part.
We have started to plan and create our own information leaflets looking at preparations needed in homes, on the streets and with transport. You can look out for our finished leaflets appearing on Marvellous Me over the coming weeks.
Maths
We are continuing to look at Decimals and are now focusing on multiplying and dividing decimals. We have looked at mental strategies, written strategies and we will be going on to discuss how to tackle word problems.
Art
Mrs Gatherum has also been looking at features on WWII in art. Over the past few weeks, the children have been building a silhouette bombing scene. They used marbling to create the backgrounds. Then they created black silhouettes of the buildings and planes before finishing off with bright yellow strips for searchlights. The completed pictures look amazing hanging in the classroom.
