It has been a busy week in Team Turquoise!
In Maths, we have found out how to find the area of triangles and parallelograms and solved problems involving area and perimeter. In English, we have written very spooky stories inspired by the book 'Night of the Gargoyles' which included dialogue that progressed our work!
In Science, we found out how Scientists classify all living things and the man who invented the system in the 1700s which is still used today. We then researched the scientific name of a variety of living things using this classification system. In Geography, we identified the similarities and differences between temperate and tropical rainforests. In PSHE, we thought about our life goals and what steps we need to take to achieve them and in RE, we found out how a Buddhist's beliefs affect their life choices. In Computing, we started work on blogs and started research on a topic to write a blog about!
Next week in Maths, we are working on coordinates, how to read and plot them and how to solve problems using them. In English, we will be writing a balanced argument about an issue of our choice. We will also be carrying on with our other topics across the curriculum.
Have a lovely week and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
Quick Reminders.
Our PE Days are Mondays and Thursdays in the Spring Term. For our first week back after the holidays, we have our Thursday session only.
