Learning and Achieving Together
Team Turquoise 2023/24.
Your class teachers are Mrs Vipond and Mrs Short.
Your teaching assistants are Mrs Buck and Mrs Botha.
In Maths this week we have revised how to calculate with money and units of time and also how to interpret timetables. In English, we have been learning about active and passive sentences, how to use apostrophes and the perfect and progressive tenses. In Science, we learnt how different living things have adapted to their environment, for example a camel has long eyelashes to keep out the sand! In PSHE we learnt about the different types of drugs available, classifying them as to whether or not they were prescribed, illegal, restricted or unrestricted. We discussed the impact they could have on both our physical and mental well-being and reasons why people may take drugs. In Computing, we began researching a person or topic that interests us so we can write a blog about it. We also completed a camouflaging investigation as part of Science Week. We started with a white moth and looked to camouflage it against our chosen background to aid its survival. Have a look at the pictures below to see how we got on!
Next week in Maths, we are revising metric measures and in English, we will be starting work on an explanation text about how to survive in the rainforest. We will also be carrying on with our other topics.
Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday!
