Week Commencing 14th September, 2020

This week, we tackled rounding to 1,000. Who remembers the worm and cowboy song?

We partitioned 1,000s, trying to find interesting ways to split up 4-digit numbers.

We had an ICT intensive week and learned a lot about text coding and block-based coding.

We created a time line to see where our Anglo-Saxons fit in. What does BC and AD mean?

Our fish settled into their new home. Meet Danny, Daniella, Dante and Danise; the danios.

Week Commencing 21st September, 2020

We planned and then wrote our wonderful adaptions of 'How the Train Your Dragon'.

We explored some Anglo-Saxon artefacts to see if we could decipher more about them.

We decided these look like gardening tools. The Anglo-Saxons were blacksmithing farmers!

We began to come up with creative ways to capture learning in our 'Learning Journals'.

Week Commencing the 5th October

We spent a lot of time looking at exchanges when adding 1s, 10s, 100s and 1,000s.

This a a peek inside Esmai's book, showing off some awesome column addition.

In English, we looked at creating a non-chronological report.

Katie's work is too beautiful to not share!

Our stars of the week this week are Connor D and Faith, who drew when we voted.

Week commencing 12th October

Using our counters and place value knowledge to help us tackle subtractions

We continued to use what we'd learned at our tables.

This helped move onto finding the difference using bar methods.

We wrote about the fact of climate change and the dangers for extreme weather.

We learned about the Futhorc Runes, the Vikings alphabet, and turned them in our concepts.

Working hard to crack that maths!

Week Commencing 16th November

Planning a myth on our story mountains

These are going to be the most legendary, mythical quest stories ever!

A perfect story plan done virtually!

Experimenting with finding the perimeter.

"Perimeter, perimeter - add up all the sides for perimeter."

Looking for patterns in perimeter.

We build the shapes using counters. 8cm widths = 8 counters across.

Week Commencing the 30th November

We started to look at perimeter of quadrilaterals

We also had a gander at the perimeter of triangles.

We came up with lots of interesting ways to represent the perimeter of shapes.

We also did a bit of drama; acting out the Anglo-Saxon's welcoming Eric Bloodaxe's rule.

And then kicking Eric off the throne a year later.

And finally slaying Eric after he tried to reclaim the Northumbrian kingdom.

Week Commencing the 7th December

We got ready for the festive season in style, jazzing up our classroom.

We created streamers and hanging decorations.

We covered our working walls in splashed of colour.

We dangled tinsel from everywhere we could and made awesome baubles for our living tree.

We also did some epic writing about a toy that comes to life at Christmas.

Look back with pride and forward with confidence
