In Maths, pupils have been continuing to complete division calculations.  They have been using their knowledge of their times tables to complete calculations.  They have been learning how to calculate remainders and they have been learning how to divide by 10, 100 or 1000.

In writing, pupils wrote a report about the heart.  They have been learning about what the heart is, what the heart does and the names of different parts of the heart.  They used headings to organise information into different paragraphs and they tried to include interesting facts.

In Topic this week, pupils have been learning about the lungs.  They created a labelled diagram of the lungs and they have started to apply their learning by creating their own information sheet.  Pupils also started to learn about the heart.  They learned the names for different parts of the heart and further work on this will be completed.

In Maths, pupils completed multiplication and they have now started division.  They have been using their knowledge of their times tables to complete a variety of division sums mentally.  They have calculated division sums in context, discussing strategies they could use to complete the sums.

Last week, pupils participated in Outdoor Learning.  They completed an orienteering activity in the school grounds.  They used a map of the school grounds to find orienteering markers that were in a variety of locations.  They had to find letters to write down and they also had to calculate multiplication sums.  Once pupils had found all of the letters, it formed a sentence.  It was great fun and very enjoyable.

In Maths, pupils have been continuing to learn their times tables.  Pupils have been answering a variety of questions.  They are continuing to progress their understanding of written multiplication sums too.

In Science, pupils have been researching about a mammal of their choice.  This has involved designing an information sheet, writing interesting facts and drawing illustrations.

We have started our new topic, which is Body Systems.  We were learning the names of the major organs in the body.  We had to cut out a picture of each of the major organs, colour it in and stick it in the correct place on the body outline.  We are going to find out the purpose of each of the major organs next.

We are continuing to develop our mental maths skills, including working on our times tables.  We have been continuing to work on our spelling and reading within class.
