This week has been a super busy
week!
Firstly, we would like to thank
you for your support with our Maths Café and our Assembly. We hope you enjoyed
learning about how your child solves maths problems and learnt a little bit
about our Power of Reading story from our assembly.
In English this week, we found
out that a robber stole a sculpture from an art gallery in our book ‘Claude in
City’. We made wanted posters using suffixes, for example harmless, colourful, quickly, shiniest, cleverest and sneakiest. Later
in the week we held a press
conference with children in role as the Robber, Security Guard, Museum Manager,
Mayor and Police Chief. The children wrote questions to ask at the conference.
We have begun looking at the features at
newspapers ready to write a newspaper report about the incident next week.
In Maths, we have been
practising our multiplication skills and learning about the inverse
relationship between multiplication and division. We used the same 4 numbers to
write four numbers sentences, for example 5 x 2 = 10, 2 x 5 = 10, 10 ÷ 5 = 2
and 10 ÷ 2 = 5.
In Science, we learnt about
fingerprints and how the police use these to identify criminals. We scribbled
with a pencil, pressed our finger on top, then put our finger onto the sticky
side of a piece of sellotape, and once this was stuck onto white paper, you
could see the fingerprint clearly. We used magnifying glasses to observe and
find similarities and differences.
We will be having a spelling test next week. We will be picking 10 words from the last 4 weeks of spelling sheets. Please practise with your children ready for Thursday 4th.
