Team DB have been busy once again this week! Here is an overview of this week's learning:
Maths In maths this week, we have been learning about decimal fractions. The children have been using their previous learning about tenths and applying their place value knowledge to recognise the value of a tenth and how tenths can be composed. The children have been using manipulatives and Braining Camp to eplore tenths, written as both decimals and fractions. Literacy In reading this week, the children have been continuing their reading of the class text, 'Why the Whales Came', by Michael Morpurgo. The children have been identifying new vocabulary and defining these new words, as well as adding these to the Vocab Vault on our literacy display to help with their writing. In writing, the children have been investigating and exploring the different methods used when writing persuasively. The children's aim is to write a persuasive piece of writing to encourage the population of Bryher not to venture to Rushy Bay. During our Geography lesson, the children were amazed to discover that the island of Bryher actually does exist! R.E. During our R.E. session this week, the children have been continuing their learning about the Islamic faith. The children are aware how people of the Muslim faith only believe in one God, Allah, and how this resembles people of the Chrisitan faith. The children also learnt about how Allah is known by 99 other names! The children have begun to develop their understanding of the five pillars of Islam. Science This term, the children are studying all about light. They have begun by learning about the different parts of the human eye, as well as developing an understanding of how light travels in straight lines. Our pattern seeking investigation, saw the children investigating whether or not an animals size had an impact on the length of the animal's gestation period. Through using media to research this, the children sought that the larger the animal was the longer their gestation period, and were astounded to learn that some animals could be pregnant for almos two years!
