What an amazing and exciting week of learning we’ve had! Here's a look at all the fantastic things we've been doing in class:
✏️ English
This week in English, we focused on subordinate clauses. We practised beginning our sentences with when and making sure we added a clear main clause so that each sentence made sense. Mrs Broda-Kaye has been incredibly impressed with our effort and the quality of our writing!
🔢 Maths
In Maths, we explored the 3 times table. We investigated how the answers can be odd or even and used Numicon to spot patterns. We also learned how number facts can help us work out new ones. For example, if we know that 4 × 3 = 12, then we can double it to find 8 × 3 = 24. Great mathematical thinking!
🌱 Science
Continuing our work on life cycles, we looked at how plants change throughout the seasons. We discovered that when the ovule and pollen come together, they create a new seed—allowing the plant’s life cycle to continue. Fascinating!
🗺️ Geography
In Geography, we explored the four types of settlements: hamlets, villages, towns, and cities. We compared the facilities each one has and discussed why towns and cities are often built near rivers. Our map work and discussions were brilliant!
🧸 Children in Need – Friday Highlights
Friday was a very special day as we celebrated Children in Need! We took part in Challenge 25, which included:
- Singing 25 songs
- Making 25p using different coin combinations
- Creating a Pudsey chain with 25 Pudsey bears
- Completing a scavenger hunt to find 25 Pudseys
- Joining in with a Joe Wicks 25-step fitness challenge
We loved dressing up in our Pudsey outfits and raising money for such an important cause.
What a fantastic week of learning, teamwork and fun. We can’t wait to see what next week brings! 🌟
