Weekly Blog 7.3.25

Welcome to our weekly blog. 

This week in English, we have finished reading our story of the Princess' Blankets. We have been looking at the features of direct speech and why we use dialogue in stories. Today we have created our class story based on the structure of the text. Next week we will be planning our own story and we will begin to write them. 

In maths we have started our unit on position and direction. We have been looking at coordinates in the four quadrants and next week we will be focusing on translating and reflecting points and shapes in the four quadrants. 

We have started our new geography unit on globalisation. We investigated what globalisation means and looked at companies who are now found all over the world such as McDonalds. We also started our new science unit on energy where we learnt that energy can never be created or destroyed it can only be transferred. We also learnt the names of 6 different types of energy. 

On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day!  We had a book quiz, shared favourite books with each other, discussed books and reading, completed maths challenges with a book theme, written in different genres, read with younger children and joined the Bookery on line for a World Book Day celebration! See some pictures below. 

Today we have had a great PE lesson playing handball with Mr Wood. We have also spent some time with Chestnut class helping them to use chromebooks for the first time! 

Next week we will be sitting our mock SATs as good practice for the real ones in May. Please don't forget to sign up for Parents evenings on Monday 24th and Wednesday 26th March. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend!
