Levels and Pathways
Continuing our work with coach Harry on Polar Dance, we worked on the levels of our dance moves today, choosing different heights for our statue poses and deciding who would do each level. We also worked on our pathways between each statue, moving like a bear, a penguin, and snow. Then we put our levels, statues and pathways together and practiced them to music!
Making Equal Groups
We started our new maths unit, multiplication and division, and began by exploring equal groups. We even challenged ourselves by learning how to show our findings by writing '__ x __ =' and enjoyed making different groups and amounts!
Story Mapping
We explored different maps, real and imagined, and talked about what a map is used for and what it can show us. We then explored different chapters of our English text- The Day I Fell Into a Fairytale - and started to create a story map of Lana's journey through the book!
Exploring Different Habitats
In Science, we have been learning about living things and their habitats. Last week we looked at how we can tell if something is alive or not, and used our prior knowledge from what living things need to survive to help us work out what kind of habitats living things need. Today we looked at some different examples of habitats, including Antarctic, Ocean, Desert, Forest and Meadow, and then worked in pairs to decide where different animals would live based on their diet and adaptations!
Grimm's Fairytale Supermarket
In maths, we have been learning how to use money; Finding the right amounts, making change, and using different coins! Today we took a trip to Grimm's Fairytale Supermarket from our English book 'The Day I Fell Into a Fairytale' and each got to buy something using our money skills.
Polar Dance
This half term we have coach Harry from Newcastle PE and Sports Service teaching polar dance to go alongside our Polar Regions unit in Geography. We made up dance moves for ice, cold, polar bear, and penguin, and practiced counting beats of 8!
