English

We have been brainstorming how the children feel about various world environments, such as the ocean, desert, forest or park.  We also identified how each of these places are affected by various environmental issues. The children have now chosen their location and they will be writing their extended write letters next week. 

Maths

This week, we introduced 4 digit numbers. We explored how 1,000 is made up of 10 x 100 using concrete resources. We then reviewed various ways that you can partition 4 digit numbers and identify missing parts e.g. 3401 is made up of 3 thousands, 4 hundreds and 1 one. 

Guided Reading 

The children are currently reading Escape from Pompeii as part of our Take One Book scheme. We have been doing various inference and reading activities up to page 10 of the book, e.g. choosing 2 adjectives to describe Tranio and finding evidence to justify why. 

History

Our school trip to the St Albans Verulanium museum was fantastic. The children started by attending a workshop on what a marketplace was like at the time of the Roman settlement in St Albans. They got to dress up as locals; explore various artefacts to guess their purpose; learn about what the Romans introduced to the area. We were then able to explore the museum's displays and visit the hypocaust mosaic building. 

Science

Today, we investigated types of rocks by observing their different qualities. We plotted the life cycle of rocks and identified which examples matched which type, e.g. sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic. 

This term, our value is Generosity.
