English – This week we have been designing and describing a new type of sweet or chocolate for Willy Wonka to make. We revised how to extend expanded noun phrases and adverbs when doing this. We have also been watching some TV adverts to begin to create a word bank of persuasive language that we will be able to use when we come to create our own adverts.
Maths – We have been doing work on 3D shapes this week (linked to our D&T work). We have revised the language of faces, vertices and edges and have used these to describe the properties of different shapes. We have learned what a prism is and have explored the nets of different 3D shapes too,
Science: We have carried out an investigation to do with the different states of water and have learned about evaporation, condensation and evaporation. We will continue this through the next couple of weeks.
D&T: We have begun our D&T project where we will be designing and making some packaging for our new chocolate or sweet we created in English. We have started off by exploring different types of packaging and exploring the different nets and how to assemble them.
PE: The children have really enjoyed their swimming and tennis lessons this week.
Music: The children have begun a new unit of work called ‘singing games’ – they have been exploring pattern and rhythm within these.
Thank you to everyone who brought in some packaging for our D&T project. We have got lots to work with so thank you!
