Our learning last week:

Last week, in literacy, the children wrote a short piece of dialogue and an imagery poem based on our vehicle text, 'Rain Player'. In history, we began to learn about who the Ancient Maya were, where they lived and about different aspects of the civilisation's culture, such as diet and religion. In science, we began our learning about light by studying how light travels in straight lines and how shadows are the absence of light. In RE, we continued on from our learning about Islam earlier in the year to learn more about mosques and how significant and influential they are to Muslims.

Our learning this week:

This week, we will continue our revision sessions for SATs. In literacy, we will analyse our WAGOLL text and start to plan ideas for a sequel narrative to the story of 'Rain Player'. In history, we will finish our learning about the Ancient Maya by studying their achievements and accomplishments, deciding which we deem to be the most significant. In science, we will continue our learning about light by studying how light travels in straight lines into our eyes, enabling us to see.
