This week we have been working hard on our writing presentation and enjoyed reading our new story, Toro! Toro! We have also been exploring our Ancient Egypt learning and writing our own hyroglyphics.

In English we have met Uncle Juan the Matador and Antonio has gone to his first Corrida. We wrote some responses as Antonio, exploring his feelings and what we would have done in his shoes. We also have planned a report on the bullfight ready for next week. Everyone has worked hard this week to make their writing look beautiful on the page.

In Maths we have been revisiting our column addition and subtraction. A lot of our learning from last term was remembered and lots of good reasoning was explained along the way. We also revisited our angles learning and learned all about parallel and perpendicular lines.

In French, we learned that feminine nouns usually end with the letter e. This helped us decide whether we need un or une as a determiner. Then we recapped lots of animal words, focusing on whether the noun is masculine or feminine. We then revisited J'ai and Je n'ai pas de to find out who had which animals in class.

In our Plants topic, we looked at the seeds we planted in different soils. They have grown very tall and leggy so we discussed what we should do to help them grow more healthily. They have been planted outside! Then we talked about the requirements for growth of plants and set up an investigation to deprive plants of one requirement to see what happens. Each table has a plant and we will be recording our findings over the next few weeks.

In PSHE we have been talking about online communities and how we can be kind when we meet our friends online. We used the guide below to make our own posters.

In DT we made some complex mechanisms. We gave the children some more freedom and they had to use their learning from the past weeks to make their own. We introduced bridges and revisited our input, output and process words from computing last term.

Home Practice

Continue to read every night for at least 15 minutes.

Check out our Sumdog challenges. This week we are practising our addition and subtraction. Continue to access the Sumdog Training tool. We have recently reset everyones account so that they are challenged on their hard skills. Well done on those who are practising regularly, we have seen a massive improvement in tables accuracy!
