WB 28.4.25

Over the last 2 weeks, we have been learning all about fractions and decimals. We have 

been counting up and down in hundredths, finding tenths and hundredths, recognising and writing decimal equivalents for tenths, comparing decimals with 1 decimal place and finally recognising tenths on a number line.

Over the last 2 weeks and next week, we have been planning and writing our triumph stories based on the story Giraffes Can't Dance with a robot spin. We look forward to sharing some next week!

In Science, we have used our knowledge of conductors and insulators to create burglar alarms. 

WB 5.5.25

This week, we have written a triumph story based on a robot. We wrote some wonderful stories, with lots of emotions, descriptions and figurative language. Here are some of our stories:

     .     

Within maths, we continued our work on decimals. We looked at making a whole with tenths, rounding decimals to the whole number and finally, using our knowledge to solve simple problems involving decimals to 1 place. 

WB 12.5.25-19.5.25

Over the last 2 weeks, we have been writing wonderful newspaper reports.

We orginally were planning our newspaper reports based on The Iron Man but something mysterious happened to our school...

Our school was lucky enough to be visited by hoebbles this week! Hoebbles (also referred to as Hobbles) are guardians of our natural world. They first were suspected to of visited our school when an array of stacked stones started appearing in each classroom. It is said 'they are wayfinders and use elaborate methods of stone placement to mark their way and discover the best routes.'

Due to our findings, we discovered that it is important to make your hoebbles feel safe and comfortable so we made our hoebble a hoebble bed! We did this by collecting a range of things that our hoebbles would like, for example, shiny objects, leaves, sticks and stones. 

As this visit was such a shocking discovery, we decided to write our newspaper reports on the hoebbles instead.

During maths, we have been looking at decimals and money. We will continue to look at money next half term before moving on to time.

In science, we have started our new topic sound. We will be learning about how sound travels, the relationship between pitch and sound, the relationship between sound and volume and how distance affects sound.
