This terms topic has
been ‘The Borrowers’. Please read about the types of activities we have been
doing and the many things that we have learnt:
This white winter, we
have been reading the outstanding book The Borrowers by the marvellous Mary
Norton. After, we wrote an amazing book
review to encourage people to read it. 4v
then planned and wrote an outstanding sequel to the Borrowers. We gathered some materials and made a
borrowers room in a cardboard box. The furniture was made from objects we found
in our homes and classroom.
Assisted by the ICT
pioneers, we learnt about the microscopic borrowers and used SimpleMind on the IPADs
to create a Borrowers family tree.
In science, we have
been learning about the interesting water cycle. Did you know that the
scientific word for rain is precipitation?
Also, in maths we have
been practising methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Learning new methods of division has been the hardest but we are practising well
and using our ‘maths surgery’ if we need it. Next, we will be looking at
problem solving and shapes.
