MrJennings

We have continued our story writing this week, thinking about writing (and punctuating) speech and focussing on checking and improving the quality of our own writing. We have written further episodes of our "Mr Men" style story and a further short story.

Our maths has mostly been connected with the theme of multiplication. We have found factors of numbers (drilling down to find prime factors) and we have started to learn how to do long multiplication sums. We developed our understanding of the process by using estimation, by partitioning and by examining what happens at each step of the computational process. Today, we learned about multiplication of decimal numbers.

In RE we examined and investigated three pieces of artwork imagining the annunciation. We compared them and learned about the religious imagery the artists included. We then used these ideas in our own pictures, imagining God sending a message to the people of the Philippines and in writing about the angel in one of the pictures we examined.

In addition, this week, we did science (about evaporation), DT (doing more of our actual weaving), music, ICT (using spreadsheets to produce a range of graphs) and PE (dance and hockey activities).
