Our learning last week:
Last week, in literacy, we considered the dramatic moment and dilemma for our short stories, before producing a story map to sequence a basic plot. We practised writing effective openers ready to write our stories next week. In mathematics, we completed the first section of our fractions strand, recapping how to add and subtract mixed numbers. In art, we practised observational drawings using tonal value and produced an accurate self-portrait by scaffolding the process step-by-step. In science, we continued to learn about how our bodies grow and change over time.
Our learning this week:
This week, in literacy, we will continue to write our short stories based in the universe of The Queen's Token. In mathematics, we will continue our fractions strand and embed how to multiply or divide a fraction by a whole number. In art, we will practise different watercolour techniques and learn how to create tints and shades through colour. In science, we will continue to learn about how our bodies grow and change over time.
