Fabulous Fluency Friday…
We have put all of our reading skills into practice for fluency Friday today. We provided our partners with clear and specific feedback.
Tennis lesson 4
We are learning to apply the forehand to a rally. We have practised our forehand and backhand strokes before working with our partner on a forehand rally over the net. It was much harder than we thought to actually keep getting the ball over the net
Tennis lesson 1…
...outwitting an opponent.
Community Cohesion – Christianity
We have been researching our local Christian church, St John the Baptist. We used the church website to find out what events are offered to the local community. We know that Christians want to help people in their local area as this means they are following the...
Symmetry
We have used 2D shapes to create tessellating patterns. We then found lines of symmetry in these patterns.
Fabulous Fluency Friday
We have out our fluency skills into practice this morning with a new section of The Explorer. We are working on giving our partners clear and specific feedback to help them develop their skills in the future. [gallery type="rectangular"...
Tennis lesson 3
We are learning to develop our backhand. We recapped what we had learnt about the forehand, talking about ensuring we push the ball forwards rather than up. We then looked at body position and how to hold the racket for successful use of the backhand. [gallery...
Catapults
We are learning how to make and build an effective catapult. We have learnt about how catapults have been used throughout time. We talked about the key vocabulary we will need to use and then began working on our design booklets. [gallery type="rectangular"...
The Explorer
Today we have written questions for the main characters in our text. We have thought about what has happened already in the story and what we have learnt about the characters to inform our ideas.
Orienteering lesson 3
We are learning to orientate a map, locate points on the map and travel to the points recording what we find. We worked in small groups using a compass to follow the instructions on our sheets. We travelled to different points in the school grounds. We were developing...
Looking after our world
We researched how some materials are recycled.
Chronology
We looked at the features of a historic timeline. We know that mining (our current unit) happened after the Roman Empire and Anglo-Saxons (our previous units).
Dance…
We build character by adding drama and emotion to dance.
Classification
We know animals can be grouped. We grouped: mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, birds and vertebrates/invertebrates.
Evaluating predictions
We used a Venn diagram which organised our predictions about the cover and the blurb. We know which predictions are likely to be most accurate.
Tennis lesson 2
We have continued our work on our forehand technique. We have looked at how use the forehand to hit the ball over the net. Today we tried to hit the ball into space to score a point.
Orienteering Lesson 2
We are learning to follow a map route. Today we were given a map that we had to follow to find key points around school. When we reached this point there was a key question to answer. We had to work in teams and communicate clearly. [gallery type="rectangular"...
Retrieval…
We use knowledge of text structure to locate information. We thought about what the main theme of each paragraph was. This helped us to locate answers more effectively.
