Weekly Blog - 28.3

Hello and welcome to the penultimate blog of the spring term!
​ I can’t believe how quickly this year is flying by.
In English this week we have started our new book called the Boy in the Tower. We started by making predictions based on the cover and the bulb. We have since read quite a few chapters and have learnt lots about the main character Ade. There has been lots of buildings collapsing but so far, we don’t quite no why. We will be carrying on with this next week.
In maths this week we have been continuing with our shape unit. We have been learning about angles in quadrilaterals and in all different polygons. Today we have been learning about the parts of a circle and even learnt a fun song to remember!
On Monday we investigated how fashion has been affected by globalisation. We talked about the concept of ‘fast fashion’ and discussed the negative benefits this can have around the world.
On Wednesday afternoon we had some extra maths where we learnt how to find the volume of a shape by multiplying the length, width and height.
On Thursday afternoon in science, we learnt the scientific equation to calculate the power an object uses. We will continue with our energy unit next week. We also went to Beech class to help them to complete the active life survey.
Today we had our handball PE lesson this morning, we also completed our own active life survey and have helped Chestnut class to complete theirs too.
I hope you have a lovely weekend 😊
