Week Ending 19th April 2024
Welcome back to the summer term! This week we have definitely kicked off to a very busy start of the term, especially with the lead up to SATs (starting 13th May). Over the next few weeks, the children will have the opportunity to consolidate a number of skills and content of the key stage curriculum before sitting their SATs papers.
This week in English, the children looked at the book 'Varmints' by Helen Ward. Here, they covered various aspects of writing such as: descriptive writing; writing in role; letter writing to an official; as well as comparing different ways of exploring the story (the book and film). In Maths, we have started the term looking at units of measure, in particular intoducing the term tonnes and exploring how this relates to mass. In Science this week, we started our new topic 'Health and Circulation'. Our first lesson explored the role of a GP and factors that can have a negative and positive effect on health and well-being.
