The children will be continuing to review and reflect on the different strategies involving the four operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication & division.
Strand - Angles
This week the children will be assessed on their understanding of angles and will begin their pre-assessment on our new unit on the measurement of perimeter, length and area.
Unit of Inquiry - Where we are in Place and Time
Our central idea for this unit is:
Migration can impact on people and society
This week saw the start of our UOI arts rotations. The children have been exploring the stages of migration through the following art forms: drama, sculpture, music & dance.
Homework this week
This week's homework:
Maths (strand): Complete the activities on measuring, creating and comparing different angles. The children should be able to complete these independently but may require additional support.
Wevideo
Please remember to keep uploading content into your Wevideo account. Those children who did not do this last week had issues keeping up with the rest of the class in their ICT lesson.
Remember to hand in/share homework by the Wednesday of the week you return to school.
