English

The children have been imagining they could see, hear, smell and touch during the story of Escape from Pompeii. We've then used these details to help plan out the retelling of the story which they will write next week. 

Maths

This week, the children have been going through different times-tables with a focus on 7s and 8s. We've been exploring the relationships between multiplication and division facts e.g. 5 x 7 = 35 and 35 divided by 7 = 5. 

Guided Reading 

We have been studying a newspaper article on the explosion of Pompeii. We've been doing retrieval, inference, summarising and fluency tasks. 

Science

On Friday, we did an investigation into how various materials might impact sound. We tested insulating a sound-source with newspaper, bubblewrap, cotton wool and tin foil. We then measured the decibel noise for each one and concluded which material was the best conductor of sound. 

This term, our value is Compassion.
