What a great week. We are really happy to be back together again after a great holiday!!

This term we will be learning about different theories of how the world came to be. We have begun by looking at the Christian creation story and we will also learn about the Hindu and Jewish creation stories. From this we will then look at the Big Bang theory and Darwin’s theory of Evolution and adaptation.

Maths

This week we have been learning to simplify fractions. Before we could be successful with this we had to learn about number factors.

Lennox- I am really enjoying learning how to simplify fractions.

Tom – simplifying fractions is easy now that I know how to find number factors.

Megan – We have learned that you need to find the highest common denominator to simplify fractions.

Writing

We have had great fun writing for the young writer competion. Almost all of us wrote short stories and one of us wrote a poem.

Caitlin – writing is easier now because I can use all the things I have been learning about like speech marks.

Music

We are taking part in a world record attempt in June for the largest Djembe drumming ensemble. Chris from Infectious Grooves came in this week to give us our first lesson.

Sam – we are learning ‘fills’ and ‘polyrythms’

Lucie T – we were clapping and chanting the rhythms before we used the instruments.

That’s all for now folks, have a great weekend!
