Week 4 is finished! I can’t believe it has been over a month of school already. Let’s share our learning for this week!
In Maths, we have finished our place value topic and will start addition and subtraction next week, after our test on Monday. The children have worked so hard on their maths this month, so I hope they can show their amazing work in the test! Year 4 have been working hard on their roman numerals and rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000, whereas Year 3 have been reviewing number lines to 1000.
In Literacy, we discovered more about the Apollo 11 mission to the moon! We read a newspaper article all about how Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins travelled through space and bravely landed on the moon. But, it couldn’t have been without the amazing mathematicians like Katherine Johnson. We also pretended to be workers in NASA, understanding how Katherine would feel for the first time, walking into the office. We had lots of fun! We have finished the week off with making fact files all about the first man on the moon.
We have finally finished our IPC topic of brain metacognition! This week we looked out how students all around the world learn and compared them to our own classrooms and experiences. We also loved looking at photos of some parents in their school days! I hope they ask you the homework questions all about your life in school. We have finished the week creating posters to summarise our learning. On Tuesday, we found out all about what sugar can do to the body and how much sugar is in some drinks! We were so shocked at the results!
I hope you have all had a great week and have a lovely weekend!
