Reading In reading, Team DB have been working tremendously hard at developing their reading skills; applying expression and intonation into their reading, whether they are reading aloud or quietly to themselves. The children have been practising reading with their echo reading partners and then presenting this to the whole class. This has allowed the other children in class to give constructive feeback about the pitch, pace, how loud or quiet the pair were, and the expression and intonation used. The children have demonstrated how they have found this valuable in improving their own reading skills. Maths
In our maths, the children have been learning about proper and improper fractions. They have been discovering how to use both of these concepts in their learning:
From this the children will continue to develop their knowledge in fractions by learning about mixed numbers and how these include a whole number and a fraction.

Maths Over the last few weeks in maths, Team DB have been focussing on developing their division knowledge. We have used manipulatives to demonstrate the concept of division, allowing the children the chance to apply these concepts into their mathematical learning. The children had a fabulous time working in their teams. Writing
Our writing focus this half term is Greek Myths. The children have been creating their own mythical creature, researching all about Greek mythical hybrids. From this the learning outcome is for the children to create their own Greek myth, incorporating their creature into the story and allowing the hero to save the day. The children will use their knowledge about expanded noun phrases, applying adjectives and prepositions, apply relative clauses into their writing to provide the reader with more detail, encouraging their story to be read! cDuring the first half of the Spring term, Team DB were learning all about Bollywood dancing and how to play Rounders.
In rounders, the children have developed their throwing and catching skills, batting and bowling and striking skills. The children were also given the opportunity to play competitively against each other, allowing them to develop their skills as team players. Throughout each week, the children practised the various styles of dance and choreographed their own routines, following Indian style music. The children all enjoyed experiencing the different movements and produced a finale of a routine as a whole class. |
