This week we have been learning all about Islam and especially the mosque. We have learnt lots of things about the mosque; what they look like, what certain features are on the outside and the inside and all the different activities that happen at the mosque.
Explanation texts
Our non-fiction text for this half term is explanation texts. We are looking at the features of the text type first, before researching more about a certain topic which we will then write our own explanation text on.
Short division
We have been proregression our knowledge of division by learning the bus stop method for dividing 2 digits by 1. Eventually, we will move onto divisions with remainders in the calculation but not in the answer.
What is 69 divided by 3?
Division with remainders
We have been learning how to work out small division questions (15 divided by 4) with remainders in the answer using concrete resources.
Grid Method
In maths this week, we have been progressing our multiplication skills by using the formal written method (grid method).
Limericks
Our poetry for this half term is the lovely topic of limericks. We have been reading and discussing a wide range of limericks to see what they all seem to have in common / follow a certain format (features).
Sci-Fi
Our fiction text type for this half term is SCI-FI. We have been reading and discussing a wide range of age appropriate short sci-fi stories. We will look at writing our own inspired by one of the stories.
