Today we used our chotting and shared write from last week to help us to write the appearance section of our non chronological report. We used our target grids well today, trying to include varied conjunctions and different openers. This afternoon we started chotting for the next section, a tigers habitat. We all took part in a shared write, trying hard to make positive contributions.
We continue to work on gaps from our arithmetic tests 🙂 What a fantastic lesson we had today!
In PE today, we have perfected our technique when throwing under arm and over arm. Miss Marsh set us a challenge to see if we could throw our bean bag at the target with different obstacles in the way – this meant we had to pick which throw would be more suitable.
Today we have done our first draft of our African inspired pointillism. In Crew Robson we are painting lions 🦁
Once finished we will critique our first draft ready for our next draft. Great work everyone!
Today we recapped angles from our lesson on Friday. We used our arms to make the 3 different types of angles we had learnt. We explained how we know if an angle is acute, obtuse or a right angle. We then applied our learning to some different questions, using our partners for support. From here we started to compare angles using the symbols < > = We named the angle first then used the correct symbol to compare. We then applied our learning to lollipop sticks and practised making and comparing angles with these. Next we looked at comparing 3 or more angles and then ordered them from smallest to the biggest. We applied our knowledge to a variety of questions then practised a little more with our lollipop sticks.
Today we were very lucky to be able to have a video call live for the Project Polar at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We were able to ask lots of questions and found out lots of information about the polar bears who live in Doncaster. We found out their skin is black and their fur is see through, they like to eat lots and meat and they enjoy playing with lots of different toys. A huge thank you to Alex who made sure we saw the polar bears swimming, walking and snoozing!
In maths this week, we have been learning about angles and turns. Today, we learnt the terms acute, right and obtuse to describe angles and created our own.
During this week, we have recapped our learning on solids, liquids and gases and then applied this when learning about reversible and irreversible changes.
After that, we investigated what substances would dissolve in water 💦
During our reading for pleasure time, we have started a new book ‘Jungle Book’ and we are loving it! Some of us even took it in turns to read the book, making sure we read confidently and with expression. We are excited to see what happens next!
