Welcome back to Owls class
We hope you’re ready to go for a short but busy term! This topic we will be pondering the question: ‘Was it a disaster?’ Thinking about mining jobs, conditions and safety. We will be researching our local area, focusing on the Whitwick colliery disaster and how other events like this brought about mining strikes and new regulations. Alongside our topic we will be using our working scientifically skills to investigate different forces and will be using conducting lots of different experiments to show different forces at work. During our English lessons we will be using songs and poetry to think about how people perceived and remember working in mines. We will be thinking about metaphors and our use of adventurous vocabulary to describe the mine conditions. We will also continue working on our sentences structures and editing our work to check it’s conveying our ideas clearly. In Maths we will be revisiting fractions and other subjects from the last few terms but now thinking about how to solve problems using the skills we have gained over the year. We will continue to work on our arithmetic and times table fluency – don’t forget to log onto TT Rockstars to keep practicing. This half term we are lucky to have 2 great coaches in our PE sessions. We will be continue with our Gymnastic lessons on Wednesdays and on Friday we will be working on our team games in hockey. Please ensure you are in the correct PE kit on these days (shorts for Wednesdays) Keep checking our Facebook page to see all the fun things we get up to! #reflecting #tolerance #empathy |
