Year 1 started their new topic in PE today, striking and fielding. As part of our COOL task the children used a racquet and ball to practice their striking skills. We also focused on key vocabulary seen on the pic collage.
Today was International Day of Maths so we learnt about Fibonacci, who was a mathematician and a mover and shaker. We found out about his life and his achievements. Then we explored the first part of the Fibonacci sequence and worked out some of the numbers in the pattern. Finally, we discovered that the Fibonacci sequence is found everywhere in nature, including the number of petals on a flower!
Year 3 spent part of our afternoon looking at our DT mover and shaker, Christopher Wren. We looked at his famous buildings, researched about his life and even put ourselves into the shoes of an architect and created lists of things that architects have to consider when designing their projects!
For this week’s Oracy challenge, year 1 were set the challenge of writing a postcard about a visit to London and to uplevel the words we use. The children completed the challenge doing a shared write and thought of many synonyms linked to their visit and landmarks.
For Oracy, Year 3 were challenged to uplevel their vocabulary using synonyms. In English we looked at Lowry’s painting ‘The Promenade’. We wrote a description uplevelling our vocabulary into our books and shared them with the rest of the class.
As part of International Day of Maths, Year 3 looked at Fibonacci, our maths mover and shaker, and his sequence. We used our disciplinary knowledge to decipher the rules of different sequences and then created our own rules and sequences!
Y5 became mathematicians today just like our mover/shaker Fibonacci! We solved, explained and reasoned our way through different problems that centred around the thinking of Fibonacci as we celebrated the International Day of Mathematics. Fab work, Y5! ➕➖✖️➗
Today was International Day of Maths. Year 6 have been studying the Fibonacci sequence.
For computing yesterday year 1 continued with grouping data. We began by grouping and counting objects then we did an object hunt looking for particular colours and then described these, even including our Oracy challenge for this week of thinking of synonyms.
As part of our Grouping and Classifying topic in science, year 4 have been looking at how we can ask questions to find out more information, and how we use questions to eliminate certain answers. What better way to explore this than with a game of guess who?! We looked at what questions we could ask, and how we improve our questions strategically to get to the answer quicker!
