Welcome back!

In English this week, we have started learning about the features of explanation texts. We rehearsed the features by making our own imaginative designs of a flying machine writing an engaging opening to our own explanations. Next week, we will be writing some sentences to explain how a dishwasher works using the imaginary version in the book, ‘Until I met Dudley.’ We will focus on the use of subordinate clauses and adverbial phrases, and check that our punctuation is accurate.

In Maths this week, we have continued to learn about perimeter. We have learnt the steps for finding out the lengths of unknown sides and used our multiplication and division skills to calculate the perimeter and side lengths for a range of regular polygons. We have also completed a fun investigation which involved arranging sets of triangles together in order to make the longest and shortest perimeters. Next week, we will be learning and practising our 8 x tables.

In PSHE, we read the story, ‘Ruby’ by Maggie Glen. We identified what is special about ourselves, and valued the ways in which we are all unique. We practised liking ourselves, and respecting our own unique features. We thought about the adjectives that best describe us and wrote them around our own self-portraits.

In science, we looked at examples of natural and man-made environmental changes and their impact on living things. We looked at the ‘Endangered Animals Report’ for Sumatran Elephants and wrote letters to express our concerns about extinction.

 Have a great weekend, everyone!
