We have had a fantastic week at school! In reading, we used our inference skills to write a diary entry as if we were Matilda! We had to infer how she would be feeling whilst using exciting vocabulary from the text.
In maths, we have been learning all about area. On Monday we investigated this by using post it notes to cover 2D objects. We concluded that it wasn’t the most accurate method, and we were excited to start using standard units to calculate area.
In science, we are learning all about Animals and their habitats. We were challenged to write a non-chronological report using both our writing skills and scientific knowledge. We also used iPads to independently research our chosen animal in order to gather more information. In Geography we are loving our volcanos topic! This week, we learnt about 3 different types of volcanoes and defined different technological terms before creating a model of a volcano. We can’t wait to see more fantastic learning next week! Please keep supporting your children at home by reading with them at least 3 times a week, ensuring they complete their MyMaths and Edshed homework and of course practicing their times tables in preparation for our test in May.
