Maths

We have started learning the multiplication tables in class. Have a look at some of the different activities were have been doing to help us learn the multiplication facts.

We have been using the BBC Super Movers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/supermovers/42675177

We made fortune tellers to test each other.

We have been playing some multiplication board games.

We have been answering quick fire questions using the Daily 10 game on topmarks. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Ancient Egyptians

We have been learning about the river Nile and why it was so important to the Ancient Egyptians.

We have looked at the three seasons, Akhet, Peret and Shemu. We also looked at the technology used in Ancient Egyptian times. The Ancient Egyptians invented the Shaduf to lift water from the Nile onto the land to water the crops.

We made our own model Shadufs.

 

Artist Study

We have been learning about the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian in class. He was an abstract painter and developed his style using black lines and primary colours.

Science – Materials

Gallery

In Science, we are learning about materials. We were finding out what everything is made of – atoms.

Jack C – I enjoyed learning about atoms, solids and liquids.

Alfie – I liked the solids and liquids activity because I learned a lot and really enjoyed it.

Olivia – We learned about atoms.

Emilio – Atoms are very small, we can’t even see them.

Fionn – We learned about atoms. Everything is made up of atoms.

George – I liked working in a group to put the cards under solids and liquids.

Max – I liked playing the atoms game outside because we had to make funny shapes.

We went outside to play a game all about atoms.

We looked at solids and liquids and sorted items under the two headings.

We then explored when something is both a solid and a liquid – Oobleck.

You can make this simply using 2 parts cornflour to 1 part water.
