In English, year 4 have started a new text, 'Beowulf' retold by Rob Lloyd Jones. We read the first 2 chapters and created freeze frames before discussing the characteristics of King Hrothgar.
In Maths, year 4 have concluded our learning on division by understanding how to divide using the short division method with renaming.
In English, year 5 have started their new text, 'The Last Bear' by Hannah Gold. We have discovered that the main character, April, is relocating to Bear Island in the Arctic Circle with her father, a climate scientist. We have recapped our knowledge of the Arctic and practised writing descriptive phrases about April's new home.
In Maths, we have begun our new unit on fractions. We have learnt how to divide to make fractions and convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa.
In History, Eagles, Falcons and Hawks have started to look at the chronology of the Ancient Greeks by making a timeline of the 6 main time periods. In music, we are learning to use a percussion instrument. In art, we are studying artists who have created cityscapes and landscapes. In PE, we started our new REAL PE unit - gymnastics.
