In Maths this week we recapped what we already know about measurement before moving on to capacity. We have had a brilliant week so far with our maths because we started measuring out different capacities and reading the scales. Then this lead us on to converting milliltres (ml) to litres (l) and vice versa and then we added and subtracted ml and l. The children have had lots of fun and really understood the learning. Super stars!

This week we took our Ipads outside to edit our introductions in the sun. We felt it was our best editing lesson so far. This was because we were editing on the IPads rather than written work, editing someone else's writing instead of our own and enjoying the gorgeous weather at the same time. We all want to do this again.

This week we ended our Computing and Topic learning. In Topic we have been learning about volcanoes and have been fascinated by the things we have learnt. Our research skills have developed so well as we discovered new and interesting facts. In Computing we have been learning how to create a Power Point Presentation. We linked the two to create a PPT about Volcanoes. We visited Year 4 to buddy up and show them what we have been doing. They were so complimentary about our learning and enjoyed seeing what we had done as it reminded them of when they did it last year.

Our comprehension this week was a playscript called Rama and Sita. The children enjoyed reading and discussing the play before acting it out with great interest and creativity. After acting out the play the children answered questions about the text like what is different about this text to what we normally read? Can you think of descriptive words to describe the characters? The children had to skim and scan for answers and use deduction to work out answers.

This week we started our new topic about volcanoes. Despite being upset that our learning about Ancient Egypt had come to an end we were EXPLODING with excitement about our new topic. We started the week by making a volcano. We then wrote instructions for someone else to follow if they wanted to do the same. We labelled a volcano and learnt what was involved in the process of a volcanic eruption. We can't wait to see what else we will find out.
