Time certainly is flying, I cannot quite believe there is only 1 week to go before we are in to the final half term before the end of the year. Team CB have been working their socks off over the last two weeks. Here is what we have been up to: In our Reading, we have been looking more closely at related texts to the Firework Maker's daughter, studying both non-fiction texts linked to the Gunpowder Plot and poems about fireworks. We have discussed the contrasting and similar language of the two pieces and the different purposes they were written for. In our writing we are now well under way with writing our own version of Razvani's backstory. The class spent time cultivating ideas for their own story before planning this out. When planning, we thought carefully about how we would organise our ideas into appropriate paragraphs, this supported children in not getting too lost within their writing and being able to move events on through the use of fronted adverbials and conjunctions of time. In Maths, we have further explored fractions, we have been looking more specifically now at using the fractional notation to describe equal parts of the whole, representing unit fractions in different ways, comparing and ordering unit fractions and using the knowledge of parts and wholes to solve problems linked to this. The class have had a relentless determination to succeed as always and should be very proud of their efforts. Well done Team CB! In our Computing, we have begun a new unit related to creating media desktop publishing. So far, the children have been looking to recognise how text and images communicate information as well as recognising that text and layout can be edited. These are vital skills that will support our learners massively as they progress through school. Keep up the hard work Team CB! In RE we have been busy learning about Hindu weddings and celebrations of light and friendship including Raksha Bandhan. The children have created their own Rakhi bracelets either for their siblings or friends to show the value they place in their friendships. Well done Team CB! Keep it up!
