Our Brilliant first week of Term 4!

We have had an enjoyable first week back, as well as submitting our 500 words stories to the BBC competition we have also been making clay pots in art, we have been re-enacting Ancient Greek Myths through drama including Thesus and the Minatour and we can also talk about the weather in French.

In English, we have been learning about different sentence types also different types of nouns. One Orion classmate said “I didn’t realise how many different types of nouns there were!” “For example compound, proper, common, abstract and collective nouns.” We gave our learning a big thumbs up!

In Maths, we have been enjoying finishing our learning about long multiplication, we have been focusing on multiplying 4 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers using the column method. Our teacher has been so proud of how we have been learning and we are ready for the challenge of division next week!

This week we have had some more superstars completing their Maths challenges, we had five of them in fact! Our teachers were amazed!

This week, we have been investigating marvellous materials in Science, we have been learning how materials and mixtures are separated in the classroom and in real life. We are looking forward to separating our own mixtures next week and being really careful to ensure that we have a fair experiment.

We hope you have enjoyed reading our blog this week,
