In English, we have been really excited to explore what kind of creature Krindlekrax might be. Using our knowledge of fronted adverbials and subordinating conjunctions, we have been writing more detailed and imaginative sentences to describe him. We have been practising using subordinating conjunctions such as because, when, if, although, and while to add extra detail and explain our ideas more clearly, helping to improve both our sentence structure and overall writing.
In Maths, we have started our new unit on statistics. We have been learning how to read and interpret pictograms, including understanding the different keys they use, as well as analysing and drawing conclusions from bar charts.
In Science, we carried out another experiment to investigate how water travels through plants. We tested what would happen if we put Vaseline on the bottom of celery stems. We discovered that the xylem vessels were unable to absorb water, meaning the plant could not continue to grow and would eventually die. This helped us understand how important these vessels are for transporting water within plants.
During our Discovery Centre sessions, we have been using Clicker 8, which helps us with our spelling and making sure our sentences make sense. It also supports us in choosing the right words and building our confidence when writing independently.
