13th to 17th September
Plot structure and story characters have continued to be the focus of our English work this week. We have looked at episodes from This Shrinking of Treehorn and the short story, The Hooligan's Shampoo. We studied the characters and how these developed and changed through the stories and also tracked the repeating structure of The Hooligan's Shampoo. Once we had done this, we wrote a new episode to fit in with this story. The topic for our maths lessons has been place value (including tenths) and mental addition and subtraction.
The have begun one of our main units of work for this term - our topic about Water and Rivers. We started by thinking about where water is found in our world and how we use it, before considering how the water authorities obtain the water that they supply us with. We have also done some more work in connection with our desert island, deciding the best place to make a shelter (after considering the importance of being close to the critical "facilities") and the actually building a make-shift shelter from found natural materials outside.
On Tuesday afternoon we started some science work about The Earth in Space with Mrs Hall, we have had two PE sessions, tried the ukulele in music and finished the week with some art.
