As another fortnight has been and gone, the class have been working tirelessly on their new Maths focus. We have been looking at fractions this week and the children have done fantastically well at recapping prior knowledge of halves, quarters and thirds. They have shown good understanding that a fraction of an amount or shape must be equal and they can recognise the different fractions in varied ways. Our focus next week will move to look more specifically at unit and non-unit fractions as well as being able to count in fractions across a range of denominations.
In Literacy, we have started a new unit this week on instructions. To kickstart the topic, children followed a series of verbal instructions in order to create their own Roman Soldier mosaic image. This will feature as part of our class display. After completing their work, the class have spent time exploring the features of instruction writing and how audience and purpose can vary dependent upon the text. We have then looked closely at imperative verbs and fronted adverbials to incorporate into our writing. In our Science, we have been busy creating our own games to showcase what we have learned linked to magnetism. The class worked in small groups to design and create their own game to show in our class science fair. They have thought carefully about what they want to teach others about magnetic forces and then created a concept from this. They have created some fantastic games, include fishing games with attached magnets, boat and car races - all which only operated through the use of magnets as the main acting force. What a truly clever bunch Team CB is! In our History topic, we have drawn to a close our learning on the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age this week. As such, an exciting new chapter begins, where the class will be learning all about the Romans and Boudicca especially. We can't wait to share some of our exciting new learning with you next half term!
