In Literacy, we have enjoyed creating a house for Hope Haven. We wrote a description of the setting and next week will will create a map of what it looks like on our wall. We will also plan stories in pairs and write them so that each story has some sort of connection between two characters that live on Hope Haven.
In Maths, we have been continuing to learn about fractions. This week we have been adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator. If they don’t have the same denominator, we have been using our understanding of simplifying and equivalent fractions to make the denominators the same.
In Art, our learning focus was on foreground, middle ground and background. We used different tones of grey to paint trees at different distances. The furthest away trees were the lightest and the closest trees were the darkest.
In PE, we have been improving our skills in balancing and movement across mats and apparatus.
We all enjoyed a couple of sessions of Outdoor Learning. One session using the loose parts and the other using natural resources to create places from our novel.
In French, we translated orders from a cafe. We were able to identify the numbers and items in each order from our previous learning. We all drew the order but some people wrote the translation too.
We have started our new Science topic on Light and Sound. We have been learning that sound waves move in solids, liquids and gases. We know that sound does not travel in a vacuum – that is why there is no sound in space.
We learned how to create a Sway to share all the information we have been learning about our topic.
Lots of children are enjoying the Home Learning grid this term. Every day there has been the chance to share the learning that has been completed at home. We have seen several musical instruments, shared posters and facts about frogs, shared information about inspirational women and found out about the affects of caffeine on our body.
