Weekly Blog 24.1.25

Hello and welcome to our blog.
This week have been busy being authors, mathematicians, historians, game designers and scientists.
In English this week we have been planning and writing our own ending to the story of the Wind in the Wall. We have been focusing on writing in the gothic genre and using lots of different figurative language techniques. The children have produced some excellent writing this week and should be very proud.
In maths this week we have been continuing and finishing our unit on decimals. WE have been looking at how to multiply and divide decimals and how to complete decimal word problems. Next week we will start the next unit on fractions, decimals and percentages.
In history we continued looking at 1950’s America and the civil rights movement. We spent the lesson understanding what education looked like back then. We soon learnt how unfair it was for black children compared to white children.
In computing we have started to become game designers. We have started to design and create our own catching game using scratch. We will be continuing with this over the next few computing lessons.
In science we continued to look at heat. We investigated what happens to each of the states of matter when they are heated. We had fun acting out these in small groups.
On Thursday evening there was a meeting all about SATs and how to prepare. I have attached the PowerPoint to class dojo for anyone who was unable to attend. Please let me know if you have any questions.
This afternoon, we have started the talent show auditions which have been great!
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
