We have had a very busy week in Team Topaz!
This week in Maths, we have been investigating negative numbers and finding out how to calculate with them. We have also been securing methods for rounding whole and decimal numbers. In English, we have written a diary recount about losing and finding a beloved pet.
In Science, we found out about shadows and that opaque objects make the best shadows because they block light. We then made shadow puppets and created stories with them. In RE, we found out about the eight-fold path and in RE, we find out about children who have to work and thought about whether their rights are being met. In History, we found out about the key events in World War 2 and in Art, we used different materials to extend an picture of London. In Computing, we created our own games based on 'Splatty Bug' and in French we learned about the names of body parts using the song, 'head, shoulders, knees and toes!'
Next week is PGL week but we will also be having lots of fun in school. We will be completing an Art project with Mrs Vipond and a board game with Mrs Boulder.
