Our week 

Week ending 22.09.23

 

English

In English this week we have been working together to create our own story based on the structure of Little Red Riding Hood. We have also been looking at determiners in grammar and we are continuing to revisit the VIPERS skills in whole class reading.

 

Maths

In Maths the children have been continuing to revise their understanding of number and place value using a variety of practical resources such as number lines and base 10 equipment. 

 

History and Geography

This term we are looking at the history of the Ancient Egyptians. The children were looking at timelines this week to understand when the Ancient Egyptians lived and were placing events in chronological order.
 

PE

This term in PE we will be learning about dance and our theme is superheroes. This week we revisited our freeze frames and then worked on adding transitions to link them together. The children worked really hard and their performances were brilliant. We agreed that it was important to work together as a team and to compromise to get the best results. The children have also begun learning how to play netball.

 

Art

In Art we continued to look at mixing colours and shades of colour. The children are working on creating an Egyptian silhouette picture using these skills. 

 

Science

This week we continued to look at the digestive system and learnt a little bit more about what happens to our food once it enters our body. We discussed the role of the liver, peristalsis and enzymes.

 

Computing

In computing we are continuing to look at networks. This week we were looking at how information moves around a network and at some examples of real world networks.

 

PSHE

In PSHE we are learning about building positive relationships with people. This week we were looking at friendships and how to solve conflict with others.

 

RE

This week the children were learning about the main beliefs of Hinduism and were looking in more detail at why Hindus celebrate Diwali.
