Eisteddfod
Our value for this term:
Our value for this term is perseverance.
Our learning last week:
Last week, the children began to learn about our new topic for the spring term: Shackleton's Journey. We introduced Ernest Shackleton as a significant person in British history and began to try to understand his character, motivations and why he is still remembered today. In literacy, we introduced our vehicle text and made predictions. In mathematics, we completed our decimals strand, where we will now use this knowledge to apply it to the context of how fractions, decimals and percentages all link together.
Our learning this week:
This week, we will continue to learn about Shackleton, focusing primarily on his 3rd expedition, the Endurance, and the narrative behind the events that unfolded. In literacy, we will begin to research about the life of Ernest Shackleton as we start to collect information towards a written biography. In mathematics, we will begin our FDP strand, embedding understanding of how fractions, decimals and percentages all link together. In science, we will begin our new Earth and Space unit, learning about the planets of our solar system.
