Maths<\/p>\n

We started the year revising the four key operations of maths: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We then moved onto investigating time. We have investigated 12 hour and 24 hour time, time durations and intervals. It would be great to see further practise at home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Literacy<\/p>\n

We have started our new literacy novels: \u2018Matilda\u2019 by Roald Dahl and \u2018Fuzzy Mud\u2019 by Louis Sachar. We have been working on our reading comprehensive strategies to enhance our awareness and understanding of the novels. We have also been working extremely hard on developing our fluency skills within our reading groups and partner readings. We had so much fun acting out scenes from chapters of our novels and we look forward to doing more of this as we progress through the chapters. We have been doing great with our spelling, exploring different spelling rules, and developing our skills in applying our spelling strategies.<\/p>\n

RE<\/p>\n

As the new year brings new beginnings, we have been exploring the Creation story in RE. We have been trying to gain a greater understanding of the importance of all of God\u2019s creatures and as such made bird nests as a way to take care of the birds that God made on the fifth day.<\/p>\n

Topic<\/p>\n

We have started a new topic; The Romans. We had a collaborative class discussion on what we would like to learn within this topic and lots of exciting areas were discussed such as the Roman Army and Empire, the Gladiators, and many others. So far, we have discovered how Rome was founded, investigated members of Roman society, and even built bridges like the Romans.<\/p>\n

Expressive Arts<\/p>\n

We are focussing on the Andy Warhol movement of Pop Art. So far, we have created colourful doughnuts and we are looking forward to creating even more Pop Art. Within music, we are currently focusing on the different emotions that music can bring out in us.<\/p>\n

In PE, we are enjoying practising basketball on a Wednesday and football on a Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
