Literacy
This week was the last week of our narrative writing. We had to read over our feedback and try and up-level our writing. We were writing about a spring adventure. We watched a short video about the things we may see in spring and added in this detail to our story. We had use our imagination to think of a complication which would make the reader want to read on. After we had finished writing, we swapped jotters with our elbow partner and we peer assessed our work using the success criteria.
In reading this week, we were reading a passage to find information. We read a passage about Pancake Day and we learnt lots of fun facts. Pancake Day is also known as Shrove Tuesday and is the day before lent begins. We had to use our decoding skills to help us sound out unfamiliar words. Then, we were using our skimming and scanning skills to help us answer questions about the text.
Maths
In our time topic, we continued to learn about converting analogue and digital times. We were also learning about writing the correct time in words. In addition to this, we started to introduce 5 minute intervals on the analogue clock.
IDL
For our sports topic, we continued to study the heart. This week, we carried out an experiment to see what happened to our heartbeat as we exercised. For the majority of us, we observed that our heartbeat increased as we exercised. Therefore, we investigated why our heart beats faster during exercise. We found out that this happens because our heart is pumping oxygen all around our body.
