Week beginning 4th February

 

In English this week, we have continued to read about Ivan’s journey in search of his missing brother. We wrote ‘I am’ poems based on the old woman that Ivan meets and had lots of fun getting into character.

 

In Maths, we have continued our length and perimeter topic and have started to measure the perimeter of shapes. We have learnt how to convert mm and cm and use this when measuring shapes and calculating the perimeter.

 

In Geography, we are continuing our theme of ‘Rocks, Relics and Rumbles’. This week the children have looked more closely at the features of volcanoes and where they are located using latitude and longitude coordinates.
