Weekly Update - 12th September 2019
11 Sep 2019
What a great first week we have had! The children have continued to impress me with their wonderful work, brilliant behaviour and excellent attitudes to learning.
In maths this week we have continued to focus on the place value of numbers (we have practised this every day, in lots of different ways!) We have then used what we know about the place value of numbers to order and compare them - all the time remembering to partition them to look at their size. We've solved problems and reasoned to show our understanding.
In English we are really enjoying reading 'The Machine Gunners' by Robert Westall. We have learnt lots about the character of Chas, using our best descriptive techniques to describe him. We've used similes, adjectives and even some metaphors. We've been constantly on the look-out for prefixes and suffixes and identifying them within words. We even used our English work to inspire some pencil sketches of Chas - we think they look wonderful!
In History we have investigated the leaders of the UK and Germany during WWII and used graphic pencils to explore tone and then sketching the leaders. We have learnt about privacy in our computing lessons and reasons why it's good to be us in PSHCE! We all deserve a restful weekend!
