Maths – All groups were looking at fractions today; one group were sorting various activities and games into degrees of difficulty. We looked at the forward plan to help us discuss the learning intentions for these activities and decided most them were covered by \u201cto sort and compare fractions\u201d.<\/p>\n

Literacy \u2013 reading groups have new reading books so we all looked at the skill of prediction.<\/p>\n

PE \u2013 we all looked at possible activities for the coming term and decided to focus on tennis, rugby and continue football.<\/p>\n

To help us with our understanding of vertebrates and\u00a0 invertebrates, and our artistic skills, we drew skeletons.<\/p>\n

Tuesday:<\/p>\n

Maths: continuing work on fractions in our groups, looking at denominators and numerators.<\/p>\n

Literacy: continued work on prediction (the rest of the book). Progressed from making notes to writing this up in sentences (some in paragraphs) into jotters. We also did an extended writing piece \u2013 a narrative story of each child\u2019s own choice.<\/p>\n

Literacy \u2013 generating questions (and corresponding answers) about their group reading books, which will feed into a reading comprehension activity. We also peer assessed the narrative writing from the previous day.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon we used our drama skills to further our understanding of \u201cMacbeth\u201d and what a medieval battle might have sounded like.<\/p>\n

We also continued working on our skeletons. We extended this activity today by getting some people to label the different bones while some people\u00a0 drew examples of other animal\u2019s skeletons.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/p>\n

In maths some continued their work on fractions of a whole number, while another group worked on related word problems.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon the class continued their work on \u201cMacbeth\u201d and practised their drawing skills by creating an image of the three witches.<\/p>\n

Friday:<\/p>\n

Assembly, when LH got the star award for sensibly supporting others.<\/p>\n
