Another great week!

In English this week, we continued with our Greek myths and enjoyed writing our endings with a resolution. We tried really hard with our handwriting and worked on consistent letter sizing and form. Next week, we will be starting a new poetry module, which we are looking forward to sharing with you all. We will start by reading poems from ‘Marshmallow Clouds’ by Ted Kooser & Connie Wanek and we are looking forward to writing our own nature-themed poems with a focus on figurative language. .

This week in Maths, we have looked at some more time equivalents and solving problems which involve converting years to months, minutes to seconds and days to weeks. We have also started our new topic all about division and practiced dividing amounts into groups where there will be a remainder. We have found it very helpful to use a number line for this. Next week, we will continue to look at division.

In art, we have begun to carefully paint our pots. We started by giving each pot a base layer of white, before going on to painting our pots in the authentic Ancient Greek, earthy colours. Next week, we will decorate our pots with our patterns and story symbols and evaluate our final pieces.

To enhance our learning in RE, we very much enjoyed going on our trip to visit the Hindu temple. We had a fantastic time exploring, and participating in a range of exciting activities and walking around the beautiful grounds, feeding the cows at the farm and having a cart ride pulled by the oxen. We also had the opportunity to try on traditional items of clothing and have our hands and faces painted in Hindu patterns before attending a religious service and learning more about the murtis. We were treated to a delicious lunch and enjoyed second and even third helpings!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
