One of our activities in the last week of term will be a movie afternoon as a way of saying thank-you to you all for your hard work.

The film has to be rated U and available on DVD to play on the smartboard.

Can you recommend a good film for the class to watch. Please justify your choice.

This week we have been revising the names of different angles, identifying these and learning how to use a protractor to measure these.

We used art in the style of cubism to find angles and name them. It helped us to learn all the different names and to identify what the angles look like.

We also worked at our tables to draw and estimate angles. We then took it in turn to measure these accurately using a protractor.

Can you find any other cubist paintings to use that show the different angles?

This week in Let’s Think Science we had to work in our groups to figure out what animals we could see based on their skeletons.

Some were trickier than others and we had lots of good discussions as well as explanations as to why we thought what we did.

Here are 3 more skeletons. Can you guess what they are and explain your thinking behind your answer.

If you can find any of your own photos to  test the class next week, add the photos to your iPad.

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about our skeletons. We have been learning what some of the main bones are called and Mrs Smith has been testing us on our knowledge by playing a game of ‘Simon Says’ and getting us to point to the different parts of our body.

Can you label the skeleton above?

Teach the names of the bones to people in your house and then have a go at playing ‘Simon Says’.

This week we used the screen recording feature on our iPads to demonstrate to Mrs Smith how to multiplying numbers by different 10s numbers. We must remember to move the place values of the number before adding the 0’s. Watch the videos  above to see what happens.

We also loved listening to a song which also helped us to learn about the multiplication process. Take a listen below.

This week we listened to a story about the history of the poppy and why they are a symbol of Remembrance Day. Some children shared stories about relatives who fought in the wars and what they went through. Mrs Smith was impressed by the respect that everyone showed during the discussions and when the piper was playing for the two minute silence.

Leave a comment below telling us one/two things  that you have learned this week.

Hello Boys and Girls,

I didn’t manage to catch you before you left at the end of the day but I have managed to reset  your GLOW passwords (for those of you who asked).

You temporary password is:

kingsland

You will then be prompted to put in a new password after this.

Have a super holiday and take care.

Mrs Smith
