This week in English, we wrote vivid descriptions of Razvani’s grotto, focusing on the five senses and choosing rich, precise vocabulary to bring the setting to life. After careful editing, we published our work neatly using our very best cursive handwriting.
In maths, we focused on adding mixed numbers where the fractional parts make an improper fraction, and then converted these into a mixed number. We also learnt how to subtract a fraction from a whole number, such as 3 − 1/4, by thinking of the whole number as a mixed number first (e.g. 3 becomes 2 4/4, which then make it easier to subtract 1/4).
In geography, we learnt about earthquake drills in Japan, discussed why they are so important, practised one ourselves by dropping to the floor, getting under a table and covering our necks with our hands. We then designed eye-catching earthquake safety posters.
In R.E., we explored different types of Seva (selfless service in Sikhi) and reflected on ways we can show kindness and serve others in our own daily lives.
We also enjoyed a visit from the NHS, who delivered a fun and engaging show about mental health and living healthy lives, which gave us lots to think about.
Wishing everyone a very happy half-term break!
