Term 2 Week 6

This week in our Literacy we have been learning to discuss and record our ideas through planning our journey stories. We have been inspired by the story of Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx and planned our own stories with characters that have to travel to Egypt to save a relative from an evil monster. We then completed and edited our hot writes using all the features we have been learning this term. The children have done an amazing job, and have written some incredible stories.

In Maths we have been doing lots of retrieval in our own classes. We have reviewed methods for addition and subtraction, and have also looked at representing numbers in different ways and place value.

In History we learnt about the significance of the Pyramids of Giza. We did this by creating a fact file on what the pyramids were built for, and the amazing story of how they were built. We also explained why they are a significant historical monument. In Music we used our learning on beats and rhythms to create our own bands. We were learning to play tuned instruments, and chose from a range of instruments to play along to the beat of the Latin song we have been listening to. Some groups even including their learning on playing chords. In our Art and DT project we were learning to take inspiration from art. We did this by looking at Egyptian art and looking at the colours and patterns that they used. We then took this inspiration and used it to create our own designs which we will use to decorate the interior of our tombs.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

Mr Saunders, Mrs Hendry and Miss Parkes
