Last week we began learning about optical illusion art. This week we started to make our own optical illusion cubes- that was really fun and interesting. Opical illusion art plays tricks on your eyes! -Carla and Jai

We worked really well suring literacy this week. We were taught how to use the dictionary. Now we keep the dictionary on our table so we can use it to find a new word for our writing and to help with spelling- Blair

I think we really achieved our skill this week, ‘Working Together’. We shoudllg focus on a new skill next week- Hannah

Pupil Comments:

In the morning before we srat reading work on big writing we have to guess the meaning of a word that our teacher displays on the smartboard. This is really fun! The person who gets the closest guess gets to look up the actual meaning in the dictionary and share it with the class. This week we learnt the weord ‘haste’- it means to do something very fast. I woud like to do this every week so we learn a lot of nwe words.

This week we worked really well on our big writing- we focused on VCOP and adjectives to describe a spooky scene- Liam

In maths we learnt how to work out multiplication questions using arrays- Alix

We learnt about the different Dazzle artists and made fact files about them- Troy

We worked very well in PE with Miss McLaughlin and we practiced our strength on the climbing frame

I loved writing the spooky story and I used a lot of adjectives- Liam

We really enjoyed our energy workshop and are looking forward to learning more about energy and electricity.

We also can’t wait to start our new topic, the Egyptians.

I think we need work harder in Maths and concentrate- Nicolas

11.11.16

We did a lot more work on using an empty number line to add two digit numbers- I think we are getting much better at it! Josh

I really enjoyed learning more about electricity. We did our own experiment! We used a ruler to pick up pieces of paper. This happens because static electricity is created when you rub the ruler off a certain type of surface like hair or a woolly jumper.- Shakira

Pupil Comments
