Team Ocean and Team Sky continue to work incredibly hard as Christmas approaches! We have been sneaking in Christmas video shoots in between incredible Maths, English and Topic learning and we have made a beautiful Christmas hoop that is now hanging in the hall. 

Here's what we have been learning!

English

This week, we began to learn how to write an information text. We are writing a guide to survive extreme cold conditions. This is because our main character, Ivan, had to travel through arctic conditions to find his brother. We learnt how to use cause and effect conjunctions to add explanation and clarity to our sentences. We have learnt about the difference with formal and informal writing and learnt lots of new technical vocabulary.

Maths

This week we have continued our measure learning. We have been looking at length, mass and capacity. We had great fun weighing different objects in our classroom and developed a great understanding of mass. We were able to convert from g to kg, m to km and l to ml. We used our place value sliders to help us.
