One Childhood, One Chance

Weekly News 22.3.2019

We have been exploring narrative writing, persuasion, recounts and revisited time.

English

The teams have had a varied and exciting week in English. We started off creating an action sequence using a star constellation linking to Science day. The children were practising using a range of exciting and engaging verbs and adverbs. We then moved onto starting our new class text, Lila and the secret of Rain. The teams wrote in character as Lila in a diary entry exploring her emotions and concerns with the lack of water in the village. They then moved onto letter writing and persuasion. They were able to set out and maintain a view point as well as giving supporting reasons.

 

Maths

We have revisited time as our topic this week. We recapped the core skill of recognising and telling times, looking at o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter too as well as to every 5 minutes and every minute in some cases. The children then used this knowledge to start converting different measures of time such as 5 minutes into seconds. The children quickly recognised that they were going to be applying and using there multiplication and division skills for this specific task. We finished the week with the comparing amounts of time using greater than, less than and equals signs.
