February's Learning

The week before half term was Book Week! 

During Book Week, we wrote a story based on the picture book Journey. In maths,  our lessons started with a story and then we solved some different maths problems throughout the week based on a story we read in class. 

Our geography topic about Greece ended with a travel exhibition.  We visited different classes and needed to ask a range of questions about Greece. 


In P.E., our topic ended with us creating a gymnastic sequence using a piece of hand apparatus.  Click here to see a video of a class performance. 

In science, we finished our topic about rocks by researching different rocks and what they are used for. 

What's been going on since we got back from half term?

Our history topic is Ancient Egypt!  To start our topic, we had an Egyptian Day where we played some board games, learnt about Egyptian maths, worked in teams to answer quiz questions and ordered some historical events about Ancient Egypt on a timeline. It was certainly a Sparky Start to our new topic!






In English, we have started reading different fairy tales and our Learning Journey will lead to us writing our own fairy tale based on The Three Little Pigs.  In maths, we are learning about fractions. 

In art, our topic is Pattern and Print.  We started by looking at the artist Henry Matisse.  Then, we explored different patterns from around the world and used paint to create our own pattern. 



In computing, we are learning about how to stay safe online and how computers are connected.  We are learning about musical instruments and fruit and French. In music, we are learning how to play the glockenspiel and getting ready to perform a piece of music as a class.
