Happy Friday! I hope you all had a lovely Easter break.
In Geography, we have started a research project about Alaska and we have looked at the different human and physical features. We are going to be comparing these features to the human and physical features of The Isle Of Wight.
This week in maths, we are covering different topics in the lead up to SATS. We have looked at cube and square numbers and BODMAS/BIDMAS to help us with our calculations. We will be looking at percentages of numbers, adding and subtracting fractions and adding and subtracting decimals.
We have started reading our new class text 'The Girl Who Speaks Bear' and our writing this term will be focused on the video and story of Alma. We will be planning and writing a narrative based on the setting and main character.
The Spelling, grammar and punctuation that we are focusing on this term are:
semi colons
colons
parenthesis
relative clauses
hyphens
and more!
In Science this term, we are starting a new topic 'Living Things and Their Habitats'. We will be building on our previous knowledge from other year groups and using classification keys to sort different groups and characteristics of animals.
In PE, we have started Athletics (Tuesday) with Mrs Watkins.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Watkins
