It's hard to believe that our penultimate week of the half term is over. We have thoroughly engaged in exciting learning across the whole curriculum. In Mathematics, we have started our new topic, area and perimeter. We began by investigating the perimeter of rectilinear shapes. Then we found the area of rectangles and compound shapes. The estimating area lesson caused a stir as we debated who had the most reasonable estimates where no exact answer could be reached.
In English, we have finished our stories based on The Explorer. We spent time editing our work for spelling and punctuation and then studiously redrafted parts of our stories to improve the flow and word choices.
Across the wider curriculum, we have looked at the most important women of history in PSHE. Children researched some of the most significant contributions to humanity from women and discussed their importance. In PE, we developed gymnastic sequences that were linked to a theme. When these were performed the rest of the class had to guess what the theme was based on. In History we compared the lifestyle's of Anglo-Saxons and Vikings through arranging primary and secondary sources of information into venn diagrams. Afterwards we decyphered runes to uncover a hidden message from vikings.
