In Maths this week we focused our learning around measuring, specifically height and length. We began by estimating the length of an object and then applied our understanding and ability to measure accurately.
In English, the children were introduced to a new fiction text, Vlad. Vlad is a flee that lives between the ears of his friend Boxton, a rat. Boxton and Vlad both lived when The Great Fire of London took place. The children have been learning about a variety of features from the book, including identifying the conjunctions.
We have been real scientists this week too. Focusing our learning around materials. We began by identifying materials, following on from this we discussed the properties of materials through an enquiry-based research lesson. The following day we looked at the difference between an object and the material it is made from. Finally we began to consider, through research, materials that are suitable for making houses with. This will lead us on to designing and making homes over the next couple of weeks.
