Outdoor Learning

This week we worked together in small groups to look at building and creating a habitat for birds. We looked at different features and materials such as insulation to keep birds warm and materials that would protect the eggs and keep the structure together.

Some groups explored different features such as the use of a roof to provide shade and shelter from different weather. We also thought about food supplies particularity for the young birds. Some nests were buried in a hole to provided protection and stop it being blown away.

Numeracy and Mathematics

In Maths we have been using calendars to sort, organise and find information. Some of us have also been continuing to work on equivalent fractions and have learned how to simplify fractions. We have also been continuing work on estimating and rounding and exploring chance and probability.

Literacy

In literacy we have been looking further at persuasion in both reading and writing. We were able to identify a range of features such as word choice, questions and other opinions that are used to try to encourage or convince us to do something or think a certain way. We explored the use of rhetorical questions and quotes within film posters and book blurbs.

Health and Wellbeing

We have been working hard to create our own food product using all that we have learned about what foods are made up of to come up with something tasty and attractive to others. We used what we have learned about persuasion to create adverts to convince others to buy our products.

P.E

In P.E we have been exploring different positions in hockey such as goal keeper, defender and forwards and have developed our game to look at positioning on the pitch and working together as a team.
