Writing
This week the children have been very busy beginning their learning about transcriptional skills that we use in writing. As a hook to our writing, the children have been looking at the descriptional langauge used to describe different creatures found in Fantastic Beasts and where to Find Them. The children have been discovering how JK Rowling uses powerful adjectives to describe the various animals, and how they can apply these into their own writing. Our ultimate purpose to use descriptional writing to create our very own Boggart, including writing our own Riddikulus spell (a charm that is used in defense of a Boggart) to overcome our fear! Maths Wow!! Team DB have been showing their amazing maths skills over the last few weeks. Year 4 children have contiuned to develop their column addition and subtraction skills, showing that they can exchange between the different place value columns. The children are now extending this knowledge to four and five-digit numbers. In Year 5, the children have grown in confidence when using decimal fractions, and are now using this knowledge to add decimal fractions up to 2 decimal places. The children have been using manipulatives to help them understand about these mathematical concepts. Science This week, Team DB have started their experiments about the States of Matter. The children have been investigating if temperature affects the rate at which ice melts. The children used the Dataloggers to record the temperature in the three different areas around school. The class predicted what they thought would happen, and how the fridge would be where the ice would melt the slowest.T hey observed the changes throughout the day, recording the level of water in each measuring cylinder. They concluded that their predictions were correct!
