NSPCC Number Day. Week Ending: 5.2.16

Hello,

Today we came into school in non-uniform wearing a number because it is NSPCC Number Day. We have been busying exploring numbers and creating number sentences.

This week in Maths we have been using different strategies to answer multiplication number sentences. We used an array and repeated addition. 

5 x 3 = 15

5 + 5 + 5 = 15

In Science we have been investigating materials and their properties. Miss Hoad's umbrella ripped so we tested lots of different materials to discover which ones were waterproof and flexible so we could repair it. 

It was great fun visiting St Mary's Church to learn more about special places. We asked Rev Will about his role at the church and how Christians use the church. We also spent time creating some observational drawings. 

We became authors in English this week as we created our own stories inspired by the story 'The Blue Coat.' 

Home Learning this week is to go for a walk with your family, then create a map of your walk from a birds eye view perspective. Can you challenge yourself to include a key? 

Congratulations to Eleni who is our star of the week. Eleni has persevered with her maths learning this week. 

Swoop will be spending the weekend with Nikos as Nikos has been trying really hard with his learning and has been using the resources around him to take his learning forwards. Well done!

Don't forget it is the school disco this evening.

Have a great weekend!
