In our Maths and Numeracy learning, we have been working together to look at different statements linked to probability and aim to prove them correct or incorrect. We have continued to work with whole numbers in our calculations, using the 4 operations.

We have continued to enjoy our class novel Kensuke’s Kingdom and we used this as a stimulus in drama again this week.

We have been exploring earthquakes in our natural disaster topic and have carried out some research and developed our note-taking skills. We have worked with others to design an earthquake proof building using different materials.  We created images of the Burj Khalifa in our artwork as an example of a building that has been designed to withstand an earthquake.

We have looked at the characteristics of a successful learner and worked together to rank the characteristics in order of importance.
