What a fantastic and full week of learning we've had!
🧮 Maths Magic with Number Lines
We kicked off the week by diving into number lines, focusing on three-digit numbers. By carefully marking out the multiples of 10, we were able to accurately place different numbers along the line. This visual method really helped us understand number positioning and value in a clearer way.
✍️ Biographies and Book Facts in English
In English, we explored the life and work of author Clive King. After researching key facts, we wrote our own biographies about him. One fascinating discovery was that his book Stig of the Dump has sold over 2 million copies! It was exciting to learn more about the author behind such a well-known story.
🧠 Exploring the Nervous System in Science
Our science lessons took us inside the human body, focusing on the nervous system. We learned how the brain acts as the control center and how the spinal cord connects our nerves to it. Understanding how messages travel through our body sparked lots of curiosity and discussion!
🎨 Creating 3D Art with Pencil
Art this week was all about illusion and technique. Using only pencil, we created amazing 3D drawings of our hands. By focusing on line work and shading, we discovered how simple techniques can make a flat image appear to pop off the page!
🗺️ Geography and Grid References
To wrap up the week, we turned our attention to geography. We learned how to use grid references to find exact locations on a map. This practical skill helped us understand how explorers, geographers, and even delivery drivers use maps in real life.
It’s been a week packed with hands-on learning, creativity, and discovery — and we’re already looking forward to what next week will bring!
