Grammar lessons

We like to sing our way through most of our grammar lessons. Practise the actions to this song:

Maths

We have used the same number of counters to create different arrays.  This has allowed us to investigate factors and factor pairs as well as logical mathematical thinking.  Following this, we learnt some divisibility rules which help us with multiples.  See if you can work out the following, using divisbility knowledge:

English-Performance poetry & oracy

This week we focused on oracy skills and learnt about the four main areas of oracy (speaking).  Using these skills we had several class discussions over 'would you rather' questions.  We also performed our poem, The Lion and Albert, to Year 4.  To mark National Poetry Day on Thursday, we read the sequel to this poem:  Albert's Return.

RE-Life as a journey

This week we learnt about pilgrimage, looking at Lourdes as an example.  Using this information, we answered key questions about pilgrimage, including similarities and differences between holidays and pilgrimage.

Science

We continued to look at the function of blood this week.  The children retrieved excellent facts, including key vocabularly like nutrients, oxygen, white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and plasma.

Dates to remember:
