Learning Overview
Literacy – We have been continuing Exposition in writing. The purpose of this is a one sided argument. This week we wrote about Article 31 – All children have the right to play.
Maths – We have been learning subtraction strategies in Number Talks. An easier way to -9 is to -10 then +1. We have been doing pattern in maths. This week we linked pattern to times tables.
IDL – This week we did a Titanic STEM design challenge. We used lego, scrap paper, dolls and things from home to design and build a model of a Titanic cabin.
HWB – In PE we have been doing gymnastics and yoga to strengthen our bodies.
Pupil Voice – Our Highlights!
Our lead learners this week are Rutendo and Paul. Here are some comments from them:
Rutendo – I enjoyed building our Titanic cabin. I worked with Lloyd and we chose to design and create a First Class cabin. In our cabin we put nice wallpaper, bedding, 2 chairs and a cupboard for suitcases. These things made it First Class.
Paul – I also enjoyed building our Titanic cabin because we used lots of luxury furniture like tables, chairs, a bed and a sofa. Daniel and I used lego and some of Aiden and Tomasz’s craft materials to make our cabin.
Next Steps – Home Learning Opportunities
Literacy – Try to think of something you have an opinion on and write an exposition. Remember to include the statement of position, series of arguments and concluding statement.
Maths – Make your own patterns and ask you parents to solve them! These could be shapes, numbers, letters or anything you can think of.
IDL – If you have materials at home you could try to make another Titanic cabin. Be creative and use your STEM skills!
Have a great weekend!
