Wow! What a busy week! We cannot believe that’s another week flown past and only 6 weeks left in P4/5.
This week in Maths we have been learning all about time duration using analogue and digital time. We have enjoyed learning through our carousels and team problems. Mrs Wassell set us a time challenge all about Doctor Foster’s trip to Gloucester. We had to work out many time durations and there was a prize for the first team finished who worked well collaboratively. Lewis, Lukasz and Filip won the challenge. Well done boys!
In IDL this week we have been learning all about endangered animals and the causes of these animals becoming endangered. We mainly focused on poaching this week. It was a very heart breaking topic to learn about. We had lots of great discussions about this. We watched some videos about poaching and did lots of research. We learned lots of interesting facts.
Daniel “We learned that elephant tusks are very expensive. They are made of ivory. Some people use these tusks to make piano keys!”
Louise “Rhino horns are used to make medicines!”
For writing this week we wrote a persuasive letter to a poacher to express our concerns about what they are doing and ask them to think about their actions. We did a fantastic job!
P4 enjoyed going swimming to bubbles today for their assessment. 😊
We hope you all have a wonderful long weekend.
Mrs W and P4/5
