PE Days: Monday and Thursday

Week beginning 12th November

This week we have been writing letters based on the book we are reading. We tried hard to use the right tone but also use all the grammar that we've been practising. 

In maths we were adding and subtracting fractions including mixed numbers but finding the lowest common denominator. 

In geography we have looked how mountains and mountains ranges are formed. 

Week beginning 5th November

This week we have started looking at letters. We started to plan a letter we would write as one of the characters from Stay where you are then Leave'. 

In maths we have started our topic on fractions. We looked at equivalent fractions and comparing fractions. 

In geography we started our topic on mountains. We learnt about some famous mountains and mountains ranges and found them in an atlas. 

Well done assembly went to Ryan and Kian R for a fantastic attitude to all lessons and great work in Bikeability. 

This week we climbed a mountain! The weather had been a bit rainy and cloudy all day and we were worried it wouldn't be safe to go to the summit. However just as we got towards to summit, the cloud cleared and so we got to the top safely. 

Everyone did incredibly. There was minimal moaning and everyone enjoyed the views at the top. 

We’ve been exploring light and how it travels in science. We furthered our knowledge by seeing how light reflects, investigating how incident rays and reflective rays are the same after reflecting from mirrors. A fun lesson in the dark!

WB 22nd September

We've had a great time this week and been looking at addition and subtraction in maths. We also had the opportunity to do two workshops! (see below)

This week we had Jase  and Summer in WDA for there fantastic attitude to writing and especially with direct speech.

Had a great time practising skateboarding during a workshop this week. We put on helmets, knee and elbow pads before helping each other control the board. Once we were confident we had a go ourselves and then tried some tricks which was great fun! 

WB 9th September

We have started reading our class text 'Stay Where you are and then Leave'. It's set in the first world war. 

We've also been rounding some really big numbers in maths. In art, we have been finding out about Andy Warhol and pop art and trying to create our own pop art. 

Well done asssembly went to Mason and Mariam for a great start and good attitude to their work.
