Mr Atkinson’s comment:
We are all excited about the open afternoons next week which will have a Victorian theme! Miss Campbell will be hosting Wednesday’s session as I will be attending the STEM the Flow Exhibition Event at the Riverside Museum where our P5B team will be sharing their project with the public. I look forward to meeting parents and guardians on Thursday. The pupils also enjoyed having the opportunity to prefect this week whilst the P6 pupils were away on their trip!
Literacy and English
As this was our final week of exploring poems we applied all of our knowledge to help us identify the different features of the poems such as the rhyming patterns and then we answered questions on what they themes were and the messages within the poems.
Numeracy and Maths
This week in Maths we have covered the concepts of adding 3-digit numbers involving carrying, drawing shapes with the same areas but different perimeters, using our knowledge of converting CM and M to help solve calculations and categorising information into Venn and Carroll diagrams.
Health and Wellbeing
In our indoor P.E. session we created a gymnastic obstacle course which challenged us to perform rolls on mats, jump distances and balance across beams. In the MUGA we learned and further improved tennis skills such as how to volley and do a drop shot.
RME
With Miss Campbell we created some storyboards from different religions.
IDL – Victorians
Mr Atkinson read the popular story of Alice in Wonderland which was written in the Victorian era and was supposedly loved by Queen Victoria!
We have also started learning about different types of Victorian architecture that was used when designing buildings in Britain.
We also spent some time researching major events that occurred in the Victorian period which we summarised to help us create an illustrated timeline that we ordered chronologically.
