Weekly Update - 14th March 2019
14 Mar 2019
We have had a really busy week in Palm Class and really got stuck in to some super duper learning. In our mathematics lessons we have turned our focus to division. We started by using concrete manipulatives to divide by grouping and sharing. We then explored how we could divide using images. Finally, we learnt about some written methods for dividing. For some of us this was tricky, but we used our growth mindset to overcome things we were finding difficult to reason and solve problems.
In our English lessons we have continued to focus on descriptive language - applying what we learnt during our poetry writing into narrative. We tried to imagine we were in an Indian city - thinking about the sights, sounds, smells and tastes. We had the opportunity to smell some spices and taste some spicy food. We used this as part of our plan and created some really beautiful, figurative language.
In our topic lessons we continued to investigate and plan a holiday to India - using the internet to research things like flights and hotel prices. In our R.E lessons we have started to think about Holy Week - finding out what happened to Jesus on Palm Sunday and remembering this by making our own palm crosses.
Tomorrow is 'Red Nose Day' with our special talent show in the afternoon. Thank you to those who have booked learning review meetings next week. There are still some slots available!
