What another busy, exciting and educational week we’ve had! ✨
📖 English
This week, we wrote our own narratives about Barney and Lou walking through a dark forest at night and hearing a mysterious growl… 👀🌲
We included fronted adverbials, subordinate clauses, and lots of descriptive similes in our writing. ✍️ Mrs Broda-Kaye has been really impressed with our pieces!
🧮 Maths
We began our new unit on mental addition and subtraction.
Using what we already know helps us solve trickier problems — for example:
If we know 5 + 3 = 8, then we know 613 + 5 = 618.
Mrs Broda-Kaye reminded us that we don’t always need a written method; sometimes it’s all about spotting number facts we already know! 🔢
🌍 Geography
In Geography, we compared urban and rural settings.
We discussed how population size changes between these two areas and created drawings to show the difference — a densely populated city 🏙️ and a sparsely populated village 🏡.
🧵 DT (Design & Technology)
Thursday was a creative and hands-on day!
We designed and made our very own keyrings. Using a brand-new stitch — the running stitch — we sewed two pieces of felt together, added wadding, and decorated our creations. We were so proud of our final products and finished by evaluating our work.
🎉 Celebration Assembly
On Friday, we shared our fantastic work with our friends and family during our celebration assembly. Everyone was so proud of what we achieved! 👏🌟
🌟 Another fantastic week of learning! 🌟
