Our learning last week:

Last week, in literacy, the children wrote their sequel narratives to 'Rain Player'. In science, we learnt more about how light travels from a light source to our eyes, according to angles of incidence and reflection. In music, the children practised playing different notes on the recorder and used this to create a short group composition with Maya influences, utilising percussion to add texture. In RE, we learnt about the symbolism of wudu; the practice of prayer; and why belonging to a community is important to Muslims.

Our learning this week:

This week, the children will sit their SATs in the morning periods. In the afternoons, we will continue our non-core learning. In science, we will continue to learn about angles of incidence and reflection. In geography, we will learn about trade and fair trade. We will learn about global trade; identify how the climate of different countries contribute to trade patterns; and learn about the production of chocolate. In RE, we will learn about another Pillar of Islam: Ramadan.
