Dear Parents,
Maths: This week we have continued our topic on angles, exploring angles on a straight line and solving problems finding missing angles.
English: We started our new writing genre: newspaper reports. The children analysed the most important features of newspapers and had to explain their opinion.
Music: In groups, the class explored how to use tempo, pitch, dynamic, timbre, texture and rhythm to compose music inspired by colours. We tried to write our own notation for our compositions.
PE: We used a map of our School playground and field to locate equipment. The first team to complete the course, was the winner.
History: We looked at a variety of primary sources on the space race and the moon landing. We discussed what we had learnt from these sources and then asked questions about them. We learnt a new word: provenance.
Guided Reading: The children are really enjoying reading ‘Cosmic’. We will continue reading this book next week.
Forest School: We used hammers and stones to transfer colour from leaves and flowers onto fabric.
Next week
Maths: We will continue with our angles topic, looking at interior angles in triangles and quadrilaterals.
English: After practising new grammatical sentences we will aim to use these and our topic vocabulary when writing our own newspaper article on the moon landing.
Music: We will start to record our compositions using Audacity and following our written notation.
PE: We will add detail to our maps to create a more complication orienteering course.
