What a great week Team Aqua and Team Topaz have had Check out what we have been up to!

Maths

This week in Maths, we have been looking at statistics! We have read and represent data using a Carroll diagram, a Venn diagram, a block chart, pictogram and tally chart. On Monday we voted on our favourite colour and animal and then used a tally chart for our findings. Next, we then made a pictogram and block chart to show our findings. We have shown how we can interpret and read various data as well as collecting our own data from class.

Next week we will be looking at word problems using the 4 operations in length!

Fact of the week!

Next week our Fact of the Week is 6 X 10 = 60

English

This week in English we have continued the book Grace and Family. This week we have looked at the Gambian flag and what the different colours represent and used conjunctions to expand our sentences. On Thursday we tasted, smelt and felt a range of exotic fruits that might be found in The Gambia markets (just like in the book). We then wrote a factual description of the fruits.

Next week we will be starting a new book The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl! 

SPaG

In SPaG this week, when focusing on Punctuation and Grammar, we have continued to look at conjunctions to extend our sentences. We focused on and, but, if, so and because.

When focusing on spelling, we focused on common exception words! Each week we will be recapping the spelling of a selection of common exception words. Please feel free to practise these at home too. This week we will be looking at…

Thematic

To kick start Wonderful World, we looked at what is in our wonderful world. We used MRS GREN, to classify objects into alive, dead and never been alive. We had to collect a selection of objects to see if we could trick our teams out!

On Wednesday, we went to Monkton Nature Reserve to look at minibeasts in their habitats and microhabitats. We had so much fun pond dipping and looking at water boatman, pond skippers, newts and we even saw nymphs which are dragonfly and damsel young!
