WB: 11.05.26
In English, we have been focusing on using fronted adverbials to give extra detail about when and where something happens in a sentence. We have linked this learning to our class text, "Krindlekrax" by Philip Ridley, by creating descriptive sentences about Corky, Ruskin and Krindlekrax the crocodile in the sewer. For example: “Deep beneath the dark streets, Krindlekrax waited silently in the sewer.” The children have been working hard to remember commas after fronted adverbials and to make their writing more detailed and engaging.
In Maths, we have been learning about two-way tables and how to read and interpret information using rows and columns. The children have practised answering questions by carefully finding data in the correct place and have begun creating their own tables to organise information clearly. We have also discussed how two-way tables can be used in real-life situations, such as surveys and data collection.
In Science, we are continuing our exploration of plants. This week, we learnt about the different parts of a leaf, including the veins, stalk and pores. We explored how veins help transport water and nutrients around the leaf, while pores allow gases to move in and out. The children enjoyed closely observing leaves and identifying their different features.
