Climate, Calculations and Cool Japanese Art Week Beginning: 06.09.21

P4b have continued to show excellent focus, enthusiasm and teamwork this week!

In Literacy, we have looked at Setting through our class novel. We explored the features of a diary entry and wrote a diary pretending to be George from the book!

I was very impressed with the imagination and vocabulary used by everyone , lots of people have chosen to display their brilliant work on the personal displays in the classroom.

 

We have been focusing on Number in Numeracy and thinking about the link between halving, doubling, multiplying and counting in groups.

We have enjoyed daily ERIC time and meditation to focus on our wellbeing.  We learned about The Dip and created our own personal steps for working through tricky work and becoming unstuck!

In woodland , we tried the Japanese printing art of Hapa Zome where we print natural materials onto cloth to make symmetrical patterns.

Our hockey skills are developing quickly! This week we practised passing and stopping the ball and dribbling without the ball running away!

 

In IDL we learned about the difference between weather and climate. We explored the climate zones and have started to focus on the Polar Region. Next week we will research and conduct experiments to explore the effects of climate change on the Polar Climates!

The pupils were very passionate about making positive changes towards slowing Climate Change after looking at a graphic of the average Earth temperature from 1884 until now.
