Where has the time gone! Another term has flown by, as we start our Easter break and Seahorse class have definitely earned it, with all the hard work they have been doing this term.
We have really enjoyed literacy this week as we have been writing our very own myths. Not to shy away from a challenge, we have written an extra chapter for the 'The Odyssey' by the classic writer Homer. We have been: organising our writing into paragraphs; using fronted adverbials; including expanded noun phrases and inserting subordinating conjunctions. Phew! What a lot to remember! It has been worth the hard work though because our end results are just fantastic. If you would like to read some of our stories just pop in after school.
In maths, we have been problem solving. We have been thinking about which method to use when solving mixed operation word problems and deciding which is the most efficient method for different problems. We have also been driving ourselves a little bit potty with magic square puzzles; using lots of trial and error before finding the right answer.
We have really enjoyed our 'Ancient Times' topic this term and will quite sad to move on. We finished off our work by looking at different types of artefacts and seeing what we could learn from them and how archaeologists build up a picture of the past.
The seahorses became the teachers in science this week as Miss Palmer handed over control of the learning to the class. We were given the name of a famous scientist and had to work as tam to research all about their life and achievements and create a way of presenting this information to the class. We all learnt a lot and and showed just what we could achieve when we all worked together.
Finally, a massive thank-you to those who came to share in Easter celebrations at the local church. I think you will agree, the Seahorses gave a stunning performance of their poem prayers; showing off their reading skills and delivering with such confidence in front of so many people.Well done!
