Learning Overview
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maths and Numeracy
\nWe have been continuing our learning on money. We have focused on the differences between credit cards and debit cards and why people might use them. We calculated interest rates on credit cards using our knowledge of percentages. We have been revising multiplication this week, challenging ourselves to multiplying larger numbers.<\/p>\n

Literacy
\nIn writing this week we were working on explanation. We explained how energy is transferred and how all energy comes from the sun.
\nPrivate Peaceful reading group are continuing to analyse the text and build up an understanding of the characters.
\nWilderness reading group carried out research on Lapland as the characters are about to go on an adventure there. They created leaflets for tourists with information on places to visit and how to get there.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Learning
\nWe continued our outdoor learning in our Literacy Clans this week. We visited our clan trees and created group poems about our trees. We have added our poems to our class display.<\/p>\n

Science
\nWe learned how to make a series circuit. We used wires, batteries, switches and bulbs. We built the circuits and then drew diagram using the component symbols. We can explain the energy transfers that take place in the components.<\/p>\n

Pupil Voice<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the careers \u00a0fair we went round different people with different NHS jobs and learned a lot about how to help old or young people get up if they have fallen or of they\u2019re choking or something.
\nMy favourite part of the careers fair was the occupational therapy because we put on rubber gloves and tried to open up a lolly to see how hard it was for people with arthritis \u2013 Shannon
\nAt the careers fair I enjoyed going round all the stations learning about all the different NHS jobs \u2013 Aidan
\nInside the careers fair building the station I enjoyed the most was the occupational therapist: you had two games to show what it\u2019s like to have either one hand or a jumbled up memory. First there was a game to try and open a tub with one hand, next was a memory game, you would get shown items then one would be taken away, you would then have to say which one was taken away. Over all it was really enjoyable \u2013 Joshua
\nI really enjoyed writing about energy transfer because I got to learn about science which is my favourite subject -Kacper
\nI loved the NHS careers because I got to see all sorts of therapists which is the career I would love to have as an adult-Jan<\/p>\n

Home Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continue to revise multiplication strategies at home. Try to use the grid method and standard written method to check your answers.<\/p>\n

Next week we will be focusing on internet safety. Please take this opportunity to discuss staying safe online with your children, especially safe and responsible use of social media. There are resources available here: https:\/\/www.saferinternet.org.uk\/advice-centre\/parents-and-carers\/resources-parents-and-carers<\/a><\/p>\n

A reminder that next week we will be continuing with outdoor learning on Monday and visiting Sky Skills Studios on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
