3rd November 2017

Welcome back to the new term. We have all made a fantastic start.

This weeks blog has been written by Ella, Lucia and Annabel.

English:

In English we have been learning about dramatic conventions (techniques which are used in radio and TV dramas). We have begun by looking at the difference between a radio and a TV drama. We have listened to a Radio 4 comedy show called Just A Minute hosted by Nicolas Parson.  We have been writing our own scripts based on this show. We choose a topic and have to write a one minute script without using repetition, deviation and hesitation.



Maths:

In maths we have started a unit on multiplication and division. During this week we have looked at prime numbers, factor pairs, common factor, square numbers and cube numbers. What a busy week! To end the week we have been  multiplying by 10, 100, 1000 including multiplying decimals.


Science:

In science this week we have started learning about  Earth and Space. We had a debate about if the Earth was flat or spherical. We then went out to learn about the planets, the order, the size, who is was discovered by and other interesting facts.

Computing:

This half term we are learning how to make line graphs in excel, we will be researching data linked to Earth and Space and producing graphs.

Art:

Our Henry VIII portraits are now finished. Here are a selection of them. They are going to be displayed in our Tudor Portrait Gallery outside our classroom.













Reminder that it is parents evening on Thursday, I look forward to meeting you all then.
