In literacy this week, we have been enjoying our new topic of play scripts. We have been introduced to (and acted out!) the ancient Greek creation story; Pandora's box. We have also been looking at lots of other plays, as we become more familiar with the layout of a play script. We have also been thinking about what makes an engaging performance, as we learn how to follow play scripts and stage directions. I think we definitely have a few future actors in our midst!
During our humanities lesson this week, we have been using an atlas to locate the different countries in Europe as we focus in on Greece. We have also been putting our knowledge of chronological order to use, when we started to look at the main events during the reign of the ancient Greeks as we created more timelines.
Maths has been challenging this week, as we have been introduced to column subtraction. We agree that the method is much more efficient and we are testing our skills by finding missing numbers in calculations and correcting calculations with errors.
We have been speeding up time in science lessons, as we recreate the process and conditions needed for making fossils by making our own imprint fossils. We investigated all the conditioned needed for a fossil to be created and researched each stage of the process.
In other news... don't forget to start thinking about your costume and three clues for World Book Day next Thursday. Finally, congratulations to Mikey and Ceona for achieving their blue merit badges this week. What a lot a hard work! Well done!
