Click here for this week’s homework, due Thursday 2nd June

This week the students have completed their beautiful poetry anthologies, which they have brought home to share with you. They have been using their knowledge of poetic features to compare different poems and have been exploring the effect of adverbs within poems.

To complete our shapes unit, the students have learnt about right angles, perpendicular lines and parallel lines. We then moved onto a new number unit, in which the students have used their knowledge of their 5x and 10x tables to count in 50s and 100s. They then quickly applied their knowledge to follow patterns adding 50, such as 26, 76, 126, 176, 226, 276… We are continuing to look for more number patterns over the next week.

In our topic lessons the students have been learning all about ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. They were quickly able to decode some hieroglyphic messages and have even practiced writing their own names. The students have also begun to make their very own clay cartouches, which they will add the finishing touches to next week!

In Science we have continued our unit on plants by learning how to differentiate between fruit and vegetables. The students are all aware that plants need water and have extended that knowledge to discover why each individual part of the plant needs water.

Unfortunately our beach visit was rained off, but we hope to visit next week instead.

Have a great weekend!
