Maths
This week in maths we have done really well! We have been solving division problems using large numbers. We can now do lots of division facts. Even the three digit ones with remainders. We like chunking using a number line.
Topic
This week in geography we have been continuing to learn about the people who live in the rain forest. The tribe I learnt about was the called Tupi tribe. Here is a few thing about the Tupi tribe: they make there body paints from plants and they make there jewelry from animal bones and teeth. The rain forest is a very strange place to live compared to ours! We looked at people who live in a less traditional way but still in the rain forest and compared their lives to ours. There are some similarities like; some still go to school, they enjoy fishing, they look after animals but there are many differences. The differences include; going to school by boat, fishing for piranhas and hunting monkeys.
Literacy
This week we have been looking at how to write persuasively when debating a point. We have been looking at the arguments for and against cutting down the rain forest. We need the rain forest because it is the habitat for lots of animals and plants and we do not want them to become extinct and also we can use the plants to make medicines. But people also use the trees for wood, paper and other ways to make money to feed their families. We are getting ready for a big debate next week. We did a conscience alley where we tried to persuade Mrs Shoat to agree with our opinions.
D.T
In D.T we have been designing our Spanish omelettes. We discussed some of the extra ingredients we could add and thought about how it would effect the appearance, taste and texture.
In other news...
Well done to Lucia for getting wonderful work for your super persuasive paragraph about saving the rain forest. Remember that it is sports day this coming Thursday. We are looking forward to a massive crowd ready to cheer on your team!
