Maths
We have been doing rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10 000, 100 000 and 1 Million!!! We have also been doing addition with numbers from 100 to 10 000. I have been enjoying myself although it can be a bit challenging sometimes.
English
In English we have been writing how useful our plan for our Tin Forest story was. A Tin Forest story is about an old man who lives in a dump, he always dreams of a colourful forest around him, but it was only a dream because he really lives on a rubbish dump. What would help my writing? I did write down some key words but I think I should think about my layout. We have been PEE’ing everywhere! PEE stands for Point Evidence Explain. I think using a spider-map is a good way of blasting down ideas.
Topic – Geography
We are doing rivers. We made a diagram of a river showing the meander, ox-bow lake and the mouth. Meander is where a river turns like waves and not a straight line.Ox-bow lake is where the river nearly joins – it’s like a horseshoe, it will eventually separate from the rest of the river and become like a pond or a lake.
Science – Properties and changes of materials
A material is a thing that something is made of. It is not just meaning clothing material. Liquids do not keep their shape; they always take up the same amount of space. Solids can be held and stay in one place. Gasses are often invisible. If you heat a liquid hot enough it turns into a gas.
Art
We are doing scrap paper picture collages. They are made up of scrap paper. I made a dark night sky picture out of a bin bag material which is plastic. This is the same as our Tin Forest story because the tin forest is made up of lots of scrap. Our pictures are A4. I did a bird and a mouse.
Spellings
We are looking at words that are onomatopoeia words. Eg bang, whizz, pop, moo, neigh
