What we have been learning this week...
Nursery:
As we continue with our story, 'Jasper's Beanstalk', we have been sequencing the story and creating our own story maps. This has also linked very nicely to our Maths topic, sequencing daily events, rhymes and stories. We have planted our beans, and we are watching very carefully what happens. Let's hope they grow to be as tall as Jasper's!
Reception:
This week, we have been continuing our Lenten journey, where we have been thinking about the things we are hopeful for. We have shared with each other what acts of service we would like to do during Lent. In Maths, we have been consolidating our numbers to 10 and have worked very hard to recite our number bonds to 10.
Year 1:
This week we have been learning to compare lengths and heights, and have been measuring using lots of different equipment. We have had lots of fun! In RE, we have been thinking about the story of Zacchaeus and the changes he made in his life, and we have been thinking about how we are changing during Lent. In English, we have enjoyed creating our own journey story ready for our hot task next week!
Year 2:
This week we loved learning about Emmeline Pankhurst and how she changed the rights for women. We wrote some amazing sentences about her in English and created a campaign poster for her in History. In Maths, we have concluded our learning about multiplication and division. Ask us questions on our 2, 5 and 10 timetables.
Year 3:
In Maths this week, we have been practising adding lengths. We remembered to convert all measurements to the same unit before using column addition to add them together. We also practised subtracting lengths, again converting all the measurements to the same unit and using column subtraction to find the answer. In English, we have written a Portal story about Ancient Egypt, focusing on punctuating direct speech correctly. In RE, we recapped on Jesus' miracles and role-played Jesus healing the paralysed man. We are working hard practising for the Easter play.
Please remember to provide your child with a plain black t-shirt for the performance as soon as possible.
Year 4:
This week we have been full steam ahead with rehearsals for the Easter Play. It looks great, and we are so excited to perform this. We would love every show full, so please come along. In RE, we were learning about the Beatitudes and the teachings of Jesus. In English, we have been writing our Hot Task based on the labours of Hercules. We have created a 13th labour for him to face! In Maths, we have now completed our work on fractions and will move on to decimals next week. Keep practising those timetables!
Year 5:
Year Five have had a busy week. Their highlight was taking part in the circuits with the athlete. In RE, we have looked at the Sacrament of Reconciliation as a celebration of God's forgiveness. In English, we have started a new unit building up to non-chronological reports. In Maths, we have just finished area and perimeter and will be moving onto statistics. In Science, we continue forces - carrying out an experiment to find out whether the size of a parachute affects air resistance.
Year 6:
This week in Year 6, we have started our new English topic, which is all about writing persuasively! We have been looking at some well-known fast-food restaurant websites and considering how well they persuade us to buy their products. In Maths, we have started our angles topic and have been using a protractor to measure different types of angles. In PE, we have continued our Netball topic, learning the rules and positions in a game scenario. In RE, we have been considering the Examination of Conscience and the important role this plays in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We have also been lucky enough to have Romeo the bear with us this week!
