Our Learning
We have had another fantastic week in Seals class. It has involved Covid-19 reflections, characteristics and comparisons.
English –
We have continued our diary unit of work this week. At the beginning of the week, we innovated our model text, changing it slightly so that our diary entry reflected the events of Covid-19 rather than the Plague. For the rest of the week, we have been planning and writing our own diary entries. The children have each come up with wonderful ideas to write about, working hard to include thoughts, feelings and opinions in their work.
Maths –
This week, we have completed our place value work and moved on to the four operations. So far this has involved adding and subtracting integers, finding common factors of numbers and finding common multiples of numbers. We will continue this unit of work next week, moving on to multiplication and division.
History –
We have continued our Ancient Egypt work this week with a focus on childhood. We discovered what it was like to be a child in Ancient Egyptian times, learning how it was different for boys/girls and for the rich/poor. Using what we had learned about childhood, we then spent the next lesson comparing Ancient Egyptian childhood to childhood today. We thought carefully about objects/symbols that could be used to represent childhood in Britain today and identified key similarities and differences between childhood during Ancient Egyptian times and childhood in the 21st Century.
Homework –
Children have been given Maths and English homework this week which relates to what we have been learning about in school. The tasks have been explained in class, but if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Homework is due in school on Monday 23rd September.
