Weekly Update

Good afternoon, this week we were leaning volume. We calculated the volume using cubic centimetres. We checked using cubes and some of us used the formula V = l x b x h.

On Tuesday we did a litter pick around some of Sorn. We tidied up behind the village hall and then down towards the entrance to the village. We plan to continue this next week with the whole school. We took part in a live lesson and learned how to write a poem about the environment and how to look after it. Have a look at some of our poems.

AJ Recycling is the main thing
HQ The environment
JE clean
JF Please keep it clean
KJ Keeping the outdoors clean

Weekly Update

We started learning about area this week. By counting the squares or multiplying the length and breadth, we can find the area.

In science, we have been learning about the water cycle and how to filter water. We experimented with different materials to find which cleaned the water best.

  

Then we explored climate change and the effect that the rising temperatures have on our planet. We made chains to show the many effects that climate change is having.

This week in literacy we have been learning how to use speech marks and commas. We used a game about an ancient temple to write our stories. Click on the links below to read our writing.

In maths we have learned how to use the written method for subtraction and we used the dienes blocks to help us exchange hundreds, tens and units.

In art we learned about perspective drawings and then drew the Polar Express. We used the vanishing point, horizon lines and guidelines to help us.

In PE we have been doing basketball and this week we were perfecting our passing and dribbling.

We’ve been learning about breaking up numbers in math. Next week we are looking at written method. We made bar graphs on excel and after conducting a traffic survey in Sorn.

We are working on our clean green award and we did a zoom call. The activities were measuring temperature of water where one was in a bag and one was not. We made a spider web while thinking about food chains. we passed string to each other to show how animal and plants were connected.
