Week 2

Our first full week in Arnhem class has certainly been busy. Here is a brief overview of what we got up to this week:

In literacy we found out about the life and reign of Queen Victoria and started to write some super biographies. We enjoyed learning about Victoria's strict upbringing and about her marriage to Prince Albert.

In maths we have been rounding, using negative numbers and solving problems using our place value knowledge.

In history we have started to find out about Victorian schools, using clues from images as evidence for any similarities and differences.

In music we started to explore cyclic patterns by listening and identifying the melody and then having a go at playing it using tuned percussion.

In science we started to learn about forces and about the difference between mass and weight. We watched some BBC science clips which we found really interesting as we saw what the force of gravity would be like on other planets. 

We really enjoyed our golden time on Friday which we earned through following our school golden values all week. Some of us played cricket, some of us played with games and some of us chose to do some art.

Here is a photo of some of our golden time art work (using pastels to create some Monet inspired work).



No homework or spellings this week. 

Have a good weekend.
