Week Beginning 21st November
Date: 30th Nov 2022 @ 1:51pm
On Monday we did some spelling in the morning and we got some new words which we practised every day. These words include: adorable, adorably, adoration, applicable, applicably, application, considerable, considerably and consideration. After playtime we did some maths and learnt 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication and lots of us found it quite difficult though some of us could do it. To finish off the morning we did English and learnt some amazing adverbs to describe our verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. We had lots of fun confidently writing our own detailed sentences containing adverbs. In the afternoon we completed our history, which was to finish off drawing Baghdad and writing some I writing describing Baghdad’s distinctive features.
On Tuesday we practised our spelling word by doing the pyramid and box techniques, these spellings got stuck in our heads and we won’t forget them for a long time. After break, we learnt how to work out 3 digits by 2 digits. Our times table skills helped us a lot doing this method. In English we recapped adverbs because we weren’t using them enough in our writing. In the afternoon, we learnt some scientific facts about the 8 planets in our solar system, this was very fascinating especially when we pretended to be planets outside and which planets take longer to orbit the sun, we found out that Neptune takes longest to orbit the sun because it is furthest away from the sun.
On Wednesday, we did the same spelling as Tuesday, however in maths we did 3 digits by 3 digits, our multiplication skills are improving a lot. In english we wrote a story about being imprisoned on an island in the middle of nowhere and how we survived there. After lunch we went to the church for a celebration assembly.
On Thursday we did spelling in the morning then in maths Mr Pearson demonstrated 264X232 and in English we wrote about Kipling’s style why things in the jungle book are how they are.
On Friday we did, before playtime, French and learnt about our family. After playtime, we did computing and learnt about features about an effective video and some of us filmed videos.
Then we did music and sang livin on a prayer. After lunch, we wrote a story, about an invisible man in a green hoodie, in our writing books.
