Friday 17th March 2023
It has been a short week in school this week, but we have still managed to fit a lot in!
In English this week, we have been looking at information texts. We started the week by reading more of 'The Tin Forest'; we discovered that the man is surrounded by rubbish everywhere and everyday of his life! We learnt about what happens to rubbish when we throw it in the bin or for recycling. We found out about recycling centres and that plastic bottles are being used to make football kits and pencil cases! After learning more about rubbish, the children then came up with their own questions to research. We will be using this research in the coming weeks as we work towards our final piece of writing for this book.
In phonics this week we looked at the /n/ phoneme in words such as: context and examine. Next week we will be looking at the /r/ phoneme as in error and ferry.
In Maths this week we started our learning of Fractions in Year 4. We started the week by understanding the whole and reminding ourselves of the numerator and denominator's purpose in a fraction. We drew a range of different fraction bars and identified the different fractions we can add together to make the whole. We then moved on to counting in fractions beyond 1 and challenged ourselves to identify missing fractions beyond 1 on a number line. At the end of the week we looked at partitioning a mixed fraction.
In other areas of learning this week:
- In RE this week we looked at how Christians show their faith in a range of ways.
- In PSHE this week we have been talking about puberty changes for both boys (body changes) and girls (menstruation and body changes). Everyone was very grown up and asked good curious questions. They may want to talk to you at home about their learning and ask any questions.
- In Geography this week we began our learning of UK counties and OS maps. We learnt that a city usually has a population of over 100,000 people and has services such as : hospitals, universities, schools and transport hubs.
- For PE this week, we continued to work on building up our basketball skills.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
