Our Learning

We have had another fabulous week in Seals class. It has involved natural wonders, microorganisms and moral dilemmas!

English –

This week, we have been planning and writing our own 'tale of fear'. The Seals have each created their own character(s), fear and storyline, ready to write a short suspense story. We have worked together to formulate a toolkit of writing features to include in our fear tales and the children are wowing me with some of their descriptions! We also spent time this week learning about 5 'Alan Peat sentence types' that we could add to our suspense stories to make them more interesting and captivate our audience!

Maths -

We have finished our decimals unit of work this week. This has involved multiplying and dividing decimals by an integer, and solving one-step and two-step word problems relating to multiplying and dividing decimals.

Geography - 

Our first lesson this week was a research lesson. Children were tasked with researching up to 4 of Canada's natural wonders, noting what it is and considering why it is such a popular tourist attraction.  Using the knowledge they obtained from their research, the children were tasked with producing a holiday brochure for Canada later in the week!

Homework –

Children have been given a piece of Maths and English homework this week which relates to the learning we have been doing in school. The tasks have been explained in school, but if you have any questions please do not hesitate to find me. Homework is due on Monday 3rd February 2025.
