Friday 17th October

Maths - This week we have continued with addition and subtraction. We have been focusing on subtraction of 1s across 10s and 10s across 100s.

We played number bond games to help us recall number bonds to 10, 20 and 100. A number bond is 2 numbers added together to make the total e.g. 7 + 3 = 10, so we know 70 + 30 = 100. Bonds to 20 include 15 + 5 = 20.

English - This week we have learnt about paragraphs and why they are used. We have been using our homework on rivers to help plan our own non- chronological reports.

Art - This week we designed our Christmas cards and are looking forward to seeing the results.

Geography - We have been learning about Snowdonia and why people might visit there.

Friday 10th October

In English this week we have begun a new genre of writing - non chronological reports. We have looked at a model text about The Amazon River and learned about the features.

In Maths we have started a new topic on Addition and Subtraction. We have been looking at adding and subtracting 10s and then 100s. We also looked at patterns when doing this using number facts e.g. 2+ 5 = 7, 20 + 50 = 70, 200 + 500 = 700.

In Art we have added our Egyptian designs to our homemade paper using felt tips.

In RE we have been looking at the story of the Prodigal Son and considering the question 'How does God help Christians to be close to Him?'

Today as part of World Mental Health Day we have considered what makes us happy.

Have a lovely weekend doing something that makes you happy!

Friday 3rd October

Maths - We have begun our Addition and Subtraction topic and have been looking at adding and subtracting 1s, 10s and 100s to numbers up to 1000.

English - We used our boxing up activity, model text and lessons on prepositions, adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions to support us writing our own letters. 

Art - We are working towards making Egyptian Scrolls. Today we learnt how papyrus was made and had a go at making an alternative version.

Friday 26th September

This week in Maths we have been looking at place value. We have been comparing numbers to 1000. We have been estimating them on a number line by working out how much each interval is worth. We have also been finding 1, 10 and 100 more or less than a 3 digit number. 

In English we have continued with our modelled text 'Li and the King of the Fishes'. The children have been describing their own fisherwomen or fisherman. 

In Science we have been learning about how many portions of fruit and vegetables we should have a day, including potatoes not being counted as one. We have also learnt that children should have not more than 6 teaspoons of sugar a day and that it can be found in foods such as ketchup!
