What another busy and educational week we have had! 📚
English ✏️
This week, we have been focusing on using subordinate clauses at the beginning of our writing. We practised starting sentences with when and as, and then added main clauses to complete them. Some of us are even remembering to add the commas accurately—fantastic progress!
Maths ➗✖️
In Maths, we have been developing our times tables knowledge, moving onto the 4× and 8× tables. We used manipulatives to group number facts before completing number sentences. Our improving multiplication skills have also helped us to tackle division challenges with confidence.
Science 🌍🦅
Continuing our learning about cycles, we explored migration and why many animals travel south during winter. We discovered how the Arctic tern travels the furthest distance by air, the humpback whale travels the greatest distance in the ocean, and the caribou undertake impressive migrations across land. 🐋🦌
Geography 🗺️
In Geography, we learned about the four different types of settlements. We compared rural and urban settings and discussed which settlements belong to each category. Building on this, we investigated infrastructures and how these support people’s everyday lives. 🏙️🏡
Art 🎨✏️
In Art, we studied form and how to create 3D sketches. Our challenge was to draw a jug and a glass as still forms. Mrs Broda-Kaye and Mrs Tinnon were incredibly impressed by our artistic skills—we definitely rose to the challenge!
Another amazing week of learning! 🌟
