Welcome to your Friday Blog
This week in our English learning we have continued to investigate news reports and articles. We have created our own reports, making sure to include all the features and remembered to write like journalists. We have enjoyed reading lots of news articles and watching the news on Newsround. Next week will be finishing our Mr Stink story, looking at instuctional writing and using exciting vocabulary to improve our sentences.
In maths, we have been learning new strategies to add and when to use them. We discussed when we solve problems in our head, when we do jottings and when we have to use a written method. Everyone is enjoying their maths learning and having a go when it gets tricky. We have also started to learn the 4x tables. Please practise at home. In school, we are listening to a 4x tables song on YouTube. See below.
On Friday we started our Big Draw project. Every friday we will explore drawing and art through various media. This week we explored how sounds and music can inspire us to create beautiful art. Have a look at the link below.
We also started our new topics in Geography and Science. We used Digimaps on the latops to look at maps at different scales and to find our homes using our postcodes and addresses. We added labels to our maps and had some great ideas on how maps help us discover new places.
In Science we started our new topic on Light. We discusssed what we already knew and what we would like to find out. Here are some questions we came up with.
Where does light come from?
What is light?
Who invented light?
What does opaque mean?
