What an amazing start to the second half of Summer term we have had! As always, Team CB have been incredibly busy with all that we have been working hard on in our learning. Here is just a brief summary of some of the magical moments during our first week back.
In Maths, we have started a new unit focussed on measurement. Over this week, we have been looking specifically at mass. We discussed what mass is, how we measure it and how we can compare it. We explored this practically using balance scales to see which objects were heavier/lighter. We then made comparisons using < and >. From this, we looked at different types of weighing scales, including digital and traditional weighing scales. The class looked at how we can identify the small intervals a scale moves up in and how to read measures accurately in g and kg. In our reading, we have continued our work on the Chocoplot, learning what happened to Jelly next and using our understanding of the text so far to make simple, plausible inferences. From this, we further refined and developed our justification for these views by using "because" to explain our thoughts. On Monday, as a class we spent time using drama techniques to retell the story of Boudicca's rebellion, which draws our history topic to a close. We used scripts to act out a scene following the King's death and Boudicca's decision to fight. We used imaginative acting to recreate the Battle of Colchester. The class were great at using the music to support their understanding of how it would have felt to be fighting for their freedom at that moment. On Tuesday, as a class, we visited The Deep alongside Team AC as a hook into our Science topic. I must say the class' behaviour was absolutely impeccable and they had so much fun over the day. The class were particularly excited to see a sawfish and catfish all in the same tank! They were enthusiastic from the get go, absorbing all the learning opportunities that came their way, including becoming a coral reef expert in the workshop they did! Later in the week, the class enjoyed building their Roman chariots. We used carboard to make the structure, which we designed, cut and secured in place, before paper-maching. Wheels and axles will be attached early next week before the class paint and decorate their fully functioning chariots and evaluate their work. As you can see, its always full steam ahead! Check back soon to see what else we have been up to!
