Literacy

We were really pleased to find out the ending to our class novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom. It was very dramatic and most of the class liked the ending and were glad to find out what happened to Michael and Kensuke. After finishing the book, we used technology skills to access an assignment on our class Teams page. Everyone did very well getting logged on, completing and submitting their work.

Our focus on creative writing was rounded off by writing a descriptive poem about wildlife.  Last week we had researched red squirrels, foxes and hedgehogs so these were the animals we picked from as a focus for writing.

John Muir Award

Following on from our writing lesson, we took our learning outside and explored how we can use natural materials to create art.  We split into groups and made some transient artwork of a fox, a red squirrel and a hedgehog.  This task promoted good discussion about teamwork and the importance of listening to each other.  Here are some pictures of our art before we followed John Muir’s message of ‘leave no trace’ and tided up after ourselves.

Numeracy

This week there has been revision of the rules when multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000, looking at how to use place value when decimal numbers are involved. We had fun by testing our knowledge using an online quiz.

P.E

Last week, swimming at Loudoun was a favourite part of the week for many of the class. Everyone did really well and worked hard in the pool.
