English – This week we have been evaluating a range of adverts, looking at how the information is presented and analysing the key features. They used this to then plan, edit and publish their own advert based on the weapons the children were given in ‘The lion, the witch and the wardrobe’. They have worked really hard to design their own adverts and they all look great.
Maths – This week we have been looking at bar charts (Year 4) and line graphs (Year 5) and drawing and interpreting the data provided. They have also been using bar charts and line graphs to solve problems and extracting information from a table.
Science – We have been identifying the effects of friction, using bikes and a range of surfaces to compare and explain where there would be more/less friction and why. We had lots of good discussion about this in class.
Geography – We have been describing and understanding the key aspects of earthquakes and what some of the effects of these. The children were very interested in the pictures we looked at showing places devastated by earthquakes. They also worked in groups to make their own seismograph out of a tin can to record their own seismic waves.
Homework – To design their own advert. Please find this in the link: Friday 16th March 2018
Spellings – To be tested on Friday 23rd March.
