English:

This week children have been learning to use exciting and varied vocabulary to describe the main character (Bradley) from the text There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom. We have had lots of opportunities for drama and discussion on the text.

Next week, we will be considering the point of view from the different characters and how they interpret situations in different ways.

Maths:

This week in maths we have be focusing on addition and subtraction using formal written methods and mental strategies. Towards the end of the week we looked at the inverse operation and how we can use this to check our answers.

 Next week, we will be moving onto to learning about multiplication and formal written methods. Please ensure children are accessing TTRS to learn their times tables.

UBBC:

This week in Science we have been learning out magnetism, decanting, sieving and filtering. The children have thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on learning and went on to apply this to their alien soup. Towards the end of the week, we looked at reversible and irreversible changes by making slime and seeing the results when we mixed bicarbonate soda with vinegar.

Next week, we will be learning about Ruth Benerito and information poster on changes of state.
