English

The children have been revisiting the book, Escape from Pompeii, as they will be retelling the narrative. To do this, we've been exploring personality traits and feelings of the key characters, Tranio and Livia. We have also been learning our spellings and using past tense verbs. 

Maths

This week, the children started our new topic, Multiplication and Division. We've started with 3 times tables, moving onto dividing. We are now going to look at the 4 times tables and division. We've been making arrays using counters to help build our calculations. 

Guided Reading 

We have been studying a poem called Pompeii. Each day, the children go to review different aspects of the poem which culminated in a reading of the poem using expression, pace and projection. 

Science

We began our new topic on Sound, with an investigation into how soundwaves travel through air, water and objects. Using rice, clingfilm, a metal drum and spoon, we challenged ourselves to make the rice move simply by banging on a nearby drum. 

This term, our value is Compassion.
