We’ve had another fantastic week packed full of learning, discovery, and new challenges. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to across the curriculum.
📘 English
This week we focused on writing chronological reports all about the digestive system. We explored the key features of factual reports and made sure to include them in our own writing.
Mrs. Broda-Kaye was incredibly impressed with how much information we included and the brilliant scientific vocabulary we used in our work!
➕ Maths
We began our new unit on mental addition and subtraction. Using place-value equipment, we explored how adding tens and hundreds affects a number—and how the ones stay the same. We also tackled the challenge of adding tens that bridge into the next hundred. It was tricky at first, but we persevered and completed the tasks with confidence. Well done, everyone!
Art 🎨✏️
In Art, we sketched apples using chalks. We had the challenge of looking at the tone and shades in the apples to make them look realistic. Mrs Broda-Kaye was incredibly impressed by our artistic skills!
🔬 Science
Continuing our topic on life cycles, we explored the fascinating process of metamorphosis. After discussing what the word means, we studied the life cycle of a frog and discovered how a tadpole completely transforms as it grows.
Did you know that a froglet grows lungs so it can adapt to life on land? Amazing!
🧠 PSHE
In PSHE, we learned about staying safe online. Using the SMART rules, we talked about how to protect ourselves on the internet and what to do if we ever feel unsure or unsafe while using technology.
🏺 History
This week in history we explored the incredible discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Howard Carter uncovered the hidden tomb after thousands of years!
We were fascinated to learn that Tutankhamun became pharaoh at just 9 years old, and that he died when he was only 18.
✨ Another fantastic week of learning and exploring! ✨
We can't wait to see what next week brings!
