Team DB have been continuing to work very hard this half term. In Science, we have started our new Sound topic and the children have been learning all about how Sound travels through the air and to our ears. The children have been investigating how sounds are vibrations and that they pass through air as soundwaves. Team DB have also developed their skills and understanding about the ear and how the sound reaches our brains! The children were excited to learn about the three smallest bones in out ears and could not believe how tiny they actually were!
Literacy In our writing, Team DB have been developing their skills in diary writing. The children gathered information about the different roles that children would have had when working in the mine at their age, during Victorian times and had to decide whether to became a Trapper or Hurrier in their learning. Some of the children found it hard to decide which job they wanted to do the most! To enable the children to do this, we have been looking in detail at the features of a diary, as well as learning how to use emotive language, writing in the past tense and using the first person. We also continued our learning about using adverbials of time ensuring that our writing was fluid from one paragraph to the next. Maths Team DB have been continuing their learning about Area and have been applying their skills into word problems, solving mysteries along the way. The children have been continuing to develop their measuring skills using millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres. We have also been investigating using appropriate measures used to calculate the area of small and large spaces. The children have expanded their knowledge about square numbers and how we use squares to calculate area, no matter how big or small the space.
