W/C 21st September 

English

We have been writing our extended writes and publishing our letters to the world, inspired by the book Dear Earth. The children have also completed a spellings baseline assessment to help identify areas to focus on. 

Maths

This week, the children have been estimating numbers up to 10,000 and identifying how to sequence them in ascending and descending order. They have also learnt about Roman numerals up to 100. 

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 retrieval activities throughout the whole book. Once we got to the end, we also discussed how we might feel and why. 

Geography

We have begun to learn about plate tectonics. Our focus has been on identifying the key boundary plates, exploring what causes the 'ring of fire' and what different types of volcanoes there are. 

Science

Today, we learnt about how fossils are formed. We harked back to our prior learning on Mary Anning and then studied the process of how fossils are created over time. We also got to see how some real-life pumice stone (from a volcano) actually floats due to it being so porous and its low density. 

This term, our value is Generosity.
