    This week Newt have had an enjoyable final week of term.

    In English, we have finished our story of The Tin Forest and all the class produced their own storyboard to represent the main parts of the book. They then spent Friday morning picking their favourite book from this year and produced a puppet show to present back to the rest of the class. There was a lot of imagination and excellent story telling for the stories chosen, including: Ug, Why the Whales Came, The Pebble in my Pocket, Lob and The Tin Forest.

    In Maths, we completed some work on column multiplication as in introduction for year 4 maths. For the remainder fo the week we completed a range of problem-solving activities, including these NRICH activities:

    https://nrich.maths.org/774 (They all particularly enjoyed this activity)

    In Science, we clarified our understanding of how light travels as well as how we can keep our eyes safe by protecting them in sunlight and what can cause damage to ours eyes, including the sun and lasers.

    In Geography, we had an exploratory lesson discussing why all maps face North and what are their origins. We looked at maps of the world which face South or with a different country in the middle other than the UK.

    Spellings: words that end in -ture or -tcher.

    English: We have been learning more about our story (which we don't even know the name of yet). We have drawn our own picture for the old man's dream which was about a wild, exotic jungle full of animals and other creatures. We ended the week writing a poem about the old man's dream and reality. 

    Maths: We have been learning about parallel, perpendicular, vertical and horizontal lines. We have used this knowledge to identify 2-D and 3-D shapes. On Thursday, we used a bag to hide a 3-D shape and described what it felt like so others in the class good guess what they were.
