Term 2 Week 3

It has been another busy week of learning. In Literacy we have focused on how we can deepen our descriptive writing. We learnt about personification and how we could use figurative language to enhance our writing. We then researched the building of the Great Pyramids of Giza and described what Marcy would have seen when she landed in Egypt. 

In Maths we have all been looking at times tables. Year 3 have been looking at the 2, 5 and 10 times table consolidating and retrieving their previous knowledge and applying this to arrays and equal groups. Year 4 have been looking at the 9, 11 and 12 times tables and their corresponding inverse facts. 

In History we were learning about the achievements of early civilisations. We did this by researching daily life in Ancient Egypt and creating helpful posters to explain what life would have been like to a character who had just moved there.  In DT we were learning about how to strengthen materials. We did this by applying papier mache to our boxes to make the structure of our tombs more rigid and also give us a better surface for painting. In music we were learning to sing in a call and response. We did this by performing a traditional song from Polynesia. 

We hope you had a lovely weekend, 

Mr Saunders, Mrs Hendry and Miss Parkes.
