We have had another busy week in P4a. Our maths lessons have been going well with a real focus on mental maths questions. We have ten questions a day and each question uses a variety of mathematical language.
I feel very confident when I do my mental maths. (Muhammad)
I work hard everyday in my mental maths. (Hirah)
Sometimes it is really hard and I really have to focus. (Abbie)
It’s alright to make mistakes as it helps us to learn. (Elise)
In our topic, we have been looking at how climate change can affect the polar regions. We learned what animals live in the polar regions. (Charlotte) If we keep adding heat into our atmosphere the temperature will rise and ice will melt which means the water level will rise and any animals that can’t swim or only swim for a little bit will drown. (Adam B)
This week, we were looking at features of a non fiction text, specifically the contents page and index. We were able to locate certain information and recognise where to find key words.
We have finished our class novel ‘Creature Teacher’ by Sam Watkins and illustrated by David O’Connor. We would highly recommend this text. Class 5b had a teacher that turned into a creature when he experienced certain emotions. We followed his journey through the school as the pupils tried to keep his secret.
I thought it was funny when Creature splatted purple paint all over Mrs Blunt. (Ailsa)
We have made Creature Teacher booklets and written book reviews to show our understanding of the text.
We are all very excited for the October week and look forward to returning to school in the new term for lots of new and exciting learning.
