Week beginning 29th April

Writing

This week we will be moving onto a new piece of writing which will be based on a picture book called Tuesday by David Weisner. We will be doing drama in the role of a police officer and witnesses. The children will also be looking at the features of a police report before we write one as a class.

Our end goal is to write a police report based on the story.

Maths

We will be continuing with our work on statistics this week before completing an assessment on position and direction.

We will be interpreting pictograms where the pictures represent amounts greater than 1. Have a look at some example below…

The key shows that each smiley face represents two aliens. Therefore half of a smiley face represents one alien. 4          aliens like maggots because 2+2=4. Three aliens like slugs eye balls the most since 2+1=3.

We will also be looking at block diagrams. These can be presented horizontally or vertically.

History

TBC

Art

We will be looking at a new artist: Khandinsky. Our focus will be on his use of ‘hot and cold’ colours.

Geography
