This week in Maths, we have been solving division word problems using sharing, grouping, bar models and known facts. Next week, we will be learning all about the bus stop method for division. We are beginning by using the method with place value counters to support understanding.
This week in English, we have been exploring the text Atlas of Adventures. We have been travelling around the globe visiting Finland, London, Paris, China, Spain, Brazil and many more. We have been retrieving information from the text as well as asking and answering our own questions. While in London we experienced (virtually) going around the London Eye and exploring the sights of London. We have also been learning about Festivals around the world and then presenting them in groups to the rest of the class. Next week, we will be continuing to explore countries from around the world. We will be using expanded noun phrases for description, using dictionaries to help understanding of new and interesting vocabulary as well as creating our own tourist information leaflets about an interesting new location.
In PSHE this week, we have been exploring the roles and responsibilities of men and women within our lives and what we think they should be. We explored our understanding and discussed both in groups and as a class if any specific roles should be just for one type of person. In Science this week, we have been exploring and categorising rock types.
In Music we have been learning to sing the song Your Imagination, singing in two parts. We are excited to get the glockenspiels out next week to further build our songs. In Geography, we have been developing our understanding of maps, creating treasure map style maps of our special and significant places.
