Autumn 1 - Industrial Revolution
In maths we are looking at place value up to 10,000,000, the main operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
In English we are reading the book ‘Street Child’. The first piece of work we are are writing is a diary entry focussing on Jim’s view of the events leading up to entering the Workhouse and his first few days experiencing life away from his family.
As part of National Poetry Day, we had the opportunity to take part in a live lesson with poet Laura Mucha. The pupils helped Laura create a poem ‘What do you think counts?’
As we continue to read Street Child, we are beginning to understand how Jim felt in the Workhouse. The pupils are writing a balanced argument, giving reasons why Jim should stay and reasons why he should run away.
In science we have been learning about different forces, including air resistance, upthrust and gravity. Pupils have been undertaking a range of investigations.
This half term we will concentrating on Hand Ball and football ⚽️ in our PE lessons. However this week we have had an extra session with a Table Tennis 🏓 coach. Below are some pictures from this session.
