Literacy
Reading
In group reading this week some of us practised summarising what we had read and some of us practised answering questions about the text with Mrs Stewart.
Writing
Last Friday we learnt about Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who wrote a diary while hiding for two years from the Nazis. We then wrote our own diary based on a WWII story we are reading called The Lion and the Unicorn by Shirley Hughes.
Maths
Number Patterns
We learnt about the Fibonacci sequence and how to continue the next numbers in this pattern. We then completed the missing numbers in ‘Pascal’s Triangle’ and discussed patterns we noticed.
Measurement – Length
We practised using a ruler to measure accurately in cm and mm.
The following day we practised estimating the length of objects then measured them with a ruler to see how close our predictions were.
Lacey – I estimated the glue to be 11cm and it was!
Liam – I estimated my shoe to be 20.6 cm and it was 21.5cm.
Georgie – I thought my shoe would be shorter than it was!
Topic
We learnt about how important music was during WWII and listened to artists such as Vera Lynn and Glen Miller.
We researched shelters used to keep people safe during, ‘The Battle of Britain,’ using the laptops.
During our lessons if the air raid siren goes off we have to take cover under the tables!
Art
We continued to learn about tone and this time practised gradually adding black to a colour when painting in order to see how its shade became darker.
