Our Learning

We have had another fantastic week in Seals class! It has involved celebrities, equations and plant kingdoms!

English –

Our new unit is 'Biographies' so we started the week looking at the structure of a biography and the language used within it. We then conducted research about a partner and wrote an informative paragraph in the style of a biography. Towards the end of the week, we have been researching facts about a Canadian celebrity of our choice. The children have planned out each of their paragraphs and began writing their extended piece today.

Maths -

We have almost reached the end of our algebra unit of work. This week it has involved forming equations, solving 1-step and 2-step equations, finding pairs of values and solving problems with two unknowns. Our next Maths unit will be decimals.

Geography -

Now that we have a good understanding of the location of Canada, we have moved on to learning about the country's physical geography. In our lesson this week, we used maps and atlases to help us uncover the country's physical features. This included identified the country's land size, weather and climate, biomes and other features such as lakes, rivers, mountains and bays. We also spent a lesson looking at the seven physiographic regions of Canada, comparing the ways Canada can be divided to the ways the UK can be divided.
