Another half term completed. Where has the time gone!

Reading and Writing

The children have completed their topic on Poetry. We were very impressed with their efforts and we put some of the many excellent examples up on display, as you can see below. Why not ask the children about some of the unusual jobs they found out about.

 

They have now just started on our next unit, which involves them writing an action scene for a myth. They have started to learn the model text. Have a look at the text map below and see if your child can tell you the story.

Maths

The children have now moved onto our new unit on fractions. They have been revisiting some of the areas they missed during lockdown and have been working on converting tenths into decimals and calculating fractions of amounts. Ask your child if they can find 5/6 of 180.

Science

The children have been finding out some interesting facts about the planets in our solar system and then comparing their size to that of the Earth. They have now started to move onto the evidence of how the Earth was found to be spherical. Here are some examples of what they have been doing.

 

After half term

In English the children will continue their work on their action scene based on the myth Beowulf.

We will continue to look at fractions in Maths, by revisiting equivalent fractions, before moving onto adding and subtracting fractions.

Science will see us find out more about the lunar cycle, phases of the moon and the moon landing and in RE the children will continue to explore the Hindu religion.
