Literacy
Our writing activities this week have all been linked to our new text The Vanishing Rainforest. We have looked at how and why the characters’ emotions changed at different points in the text, rewritten the text in role as various characters and written book reviews using examples from the text to explain our views.
Numeracy
In Maths, we have focused on converting fractions to percentages and learnt how to find any percentage using our knowledge of how to find 10% of a number.
Other activities included: learning about the different countries of South America, their capital cities and geographical features of the continent; a practical exploratory task examining different rocks to decide how to find the hardest rock in a given sample and creating group compositions of Brazil/rainforest-inspired music.
Please could I remind children to have their P.E. kit in School for Tuesday and Thursday and to make sure that their jogging bottoms do not trail over their heels, as we are using the apparatus this term.
Thank you as always for your support.
