What a Royal week we have had! We learnt all about King Charles III; who he is, who he is related to and what the role of the King might be. We were astounded to find out that not only had King Charles become heir at the young age of 3 but he has been in this position for 70 years! Can you imagine waiting that long for anything?
We have produced absolutely fantastic fact files and cannot wait to show you them!
In maths, we tackled non-unit fractions, no longer just finding ¼ but having to find ¾ of a number. Can you remember how many parts you divide the number between for quarters? If I want ¾ how many of those pieces do I need? If I give you the number 20, can you show someone at home how to bar model finding 1/4, 2/4, ¾ and 4/4?
Turning music into pictures was our aim in computing this week, as we drew whatever we thought or felt whilst listening to Neptune from the Planet Suite. Can you remember who composed it? Once we had drawn our pictures, we looked at Google Chrome Lab again but this time explore the Kandinsky section. We used it to explore pitch (how high or low a note is) and duration (how long or short a note lasts for).
We finished our fantastic week with a day celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III. We thoroughly enjoyed many craft activities within class, before partaking in a whole school parade around the school. We all looked truly fantastic wearing our crowns and costumes, royal waving to every one as we passed by and singing Celebration. Our wonderful day was finished off with activities from crafting to singing to party game. What a truly wonderful day!
Have a fantastic weekend, celebrating and having fun. 🙂
