Welcome back! As we head into our final term, we have begun our new writing topic in English and have started to look at a balanced argument. This week we have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of zoos, making sure that we are using the third person. We have written a paragraph for and against using this as a stimulus. Next week we will start researching in order to write another discussion. In maths, we have been learning about Roman Numerals. Ask your child how we have tried to remember the order of the letters! In science, we have started looking at life cycles, and we learnt about an amphibian's different stages. Next week we will be learning about mammals and learning how their life cycle differs from amphibians. In our geography lesson, we have been using atlases to find out about contours and mountains. We located several mountains around the world and found out how tall they were. We used the contents and index pages to help us find the countries. We labelled the different parts of a mountain.
In RE, we we were thinking about ultimate questions and how religions might fall into this. In Computing, we started modelling and designing which has been fun. In French, we have begun our unit about the family and will be learning words associated with the family unit.
In PSHE, we looked at how to keep ourselves safe when online and how to be aware of the type of information we should not be sharing. We made posters to help us to remember this.
Next week will be assessment week for reading and maths.
PE days are Monday and Wednesday each week.
