Our learning last week:

Last week, in literacy, the children planned and began to write their own sequel narratives to 'Rain Player'. In science, the children learned about the parts of the eye and how light travels into the eye, creating an image on the retina at the back of the eye. In music, the children recapped their knowledge of different notes on the recorder. We also practised implementing these notes in short songs. In RE, the children learned about the importance of the Shahadah - the first Pillar of Islam.

Our learning this week:

This week, we will continue our revision sessions for SATs. In literacy, we will complete our sequel narratives based on 'Rain Player'. In science, we will learn more about how light travels from a light source to our eyes, according to angles of incidence and reflection. In music, the children will use their knowledge of notes on a recorder to start to compose a short piece of music with Maya influences. RE, we will learn about the symbolism of wudu; the practice of prayer; and why belonging to a community is important to Muslims.
