Learning Overview
Maths and Numeracy
This week we have been continuing to reinforce our learning of fractions and decimals, whilst making comparisons to percentages. We have been looking at equivalent fractions and then trying to identify the perentage. We shall be continuing with this next week. Also we have been learning about time and we have been converting analogue times to 24 hour times. We shall continue with this and start looking at using timetables next week.
Literacy
We have been focusing on the structure and the importance of planning to write an explanation of how energy from the sun can be transferred. We have also been focusing on different spelling patterns to reinforce our spelling skills. This week our focus is on the spelling pattern: -ed.
Science
We have been learning about electricity and we have been drawing and making electric circuits using the following components: a switch, a battery, wires and a bulb. We have also carried out some experiments by testing different items with our electric circuits to determine which substances are conductors or insulators.
Pupil Voice
Art: In art we made pendulums with paper cups and string. Then we added paint and put a big piece of paper on the bottom of it. We spun it, pushed it or whatever we wanted and my group’s second one looked like a shoe!
RE: In R.E. someone pretended to be St. Paul in our hot seat activity.
Sky: We made story boards in preparation for our Sky Studios trip on Monday.
Writing: We wrote an explanation about how energy comes from the sun.
Maths: In maths we did fractions, decimals and percentages, but mostly percentages. We talked about them and then discussed how confident we felt about percentages.
P.E: In P.E. we did gymnastics with balances and rolls. We also went on the vault and we did jumps, shapes and front flips.
Posters: We made posters which were about what we wanted to do when we were older. In the middle of the paper we wrote the name of what job we wanted to have and then we had to write a skill connected to that job for each letter.
Mrs Reeves lost her voice then Mrs Quinn aka Jack had to ‘step in’ to save the week for Mrs Reeves!
