This week at Crookfur we went on an amazing school trip to the Tall Ship and Riverside Museum as our topic is the Titanic. In The tall ship we were given the chance to be an archaeologist and were digging up old artefacts from the Titanic. We learned that this is called excavating! We discussed what the various items that we uncovered were used for and which passengers might have owned them. We also learned that the Titanic is three times as big as the Tall Ship which was very surprising! After the Titanic workshop, we took part in a scavenger hunt around the Tall Ship which involved looking for lots of different items. We had our lunch on the Tall Ship and then walked across to the Transport Museum. While we were at the Transport Museum we got to explore the old street, sit on an old tram and visit a dress up shop! It was very fun. We got to learn even more about ships and look at lots of interesting models. It was a great trip! 🙂

This week in maths, the Super Subtractions continued working on function machines and equations and continued to make excellent progress. The Excellent Equations continued working on area and perimeter and worked on more complicated calculations. The Fantastic Fractions learned about special triangles and can now identify equilateral, scalene and isosceles triangles and can also calculate the angles within different triangles.

In language, we wrote exciting recounts of our school trip!

On Friday we learned about Remembrance Day (Armistice) and we had a two minute silence to remember all the people who lost their lives during the war.
