Curriculum areas and subjects

In Maths, we were learning how to use the column method to add and subtraction. We got to add and subtract in the thousands using this method.

We also looked at pictograms. A pictogram is a chart that uses pictures to represent information. Pictograms are set out in the same way as bar charts, but instead of bars they use columns of pictures to show the numbers involved. There is a key so you know how much each picture represents.

In Art, we were learning about hot and cold colours. Cold colours are blue, purple and green. Hot colours are red, orange and yellow. We create an autumn picture using cold colours for the background and hot colours for the falling leaves.  It was so much fun!

Interdisciplinary learning

We enjoyed learning about Bonfire Night and how to keep safe.  We made a leaflet to show how to keep safe.

We wrote a cinquain poem about autumn. It is five lines long and we had to use the right amount of syllables on each line. We also used alliteration. It was a challenge!

The ethos and life of the school

Last week we had a visitor from the SSPCA. We discussed how to look after pets. We then made a robot animal and got to code it.
