In English this week we have been learning about explanation texts. We looked at similarities between non-chronological reports and explanation texts.
- They both have headings
- Only non-chronological reports have subheadings.
- They both have facts and photographs.
- Only explanations are in a numbered order.
We wrote our own explanation texts about how chocolate is made. It made us very hungry!
In Maths, we have been multiplying. We have used lots of different strategies to multiply such as grouping, arrays and using counting in 2s, 5s and 10s mentally. We know that when multiplying, the number always gets bigger.
This week is Sustainable St Albans Week so we went to Tesco to learn about where our food comes from. Well done to everybody in Maple Class for representing the school so well on our visit.
In Geography, we learnt what 'local produce' meant. We used directional language (North, East, South, West) to answer questions about a map of a farm.
Well done to Benjamin who has taken Night home this week for his fantastic, independent maths work.
Tina has won Star of the week for being such a kind and caring friend to others.
REMINDER:
