This month, Sea Turtles class have been very busy enjoying our learning! Over the last 6 weeks in Art, we have been working towards finishing our Modroc Sculptures which have been inspired by the different emotions found on the blob tree that we analysed as a class. The children had to start by selecting the emotion they wanted their Modroc sculpture to portray; with the final product being made of a metal wire being manipulated and shaped to create the wire frame that was then wrapped in masking tape before being covered in layers of Modroc, painted and glazed with PVA glue - all of the children have done a brilliant job!

In Literacy over the last three weeks, the class have been writing travel guides persuading their readers to visit lots of amazing cities around the world; we learnt lots of interesting facts about Barcelona, London, Rome, Budapest, Sydney, Dubai and many more! Our grammar focus has been on learning what relative pronouns are and how to create relative clauses with the challenge of embedding them into our sentences.

In Maths, Sea Turtles have embarked on their multiplication and division unit with a focus on multiples, factors, prime, cube and square numbers. The children have also continued to learn the importance of understanding place value and the vital role it plays when multiplying and dividing numbers by 10,100 & 1,000. Next, we will be moving on to our fractions unit where the children will need to rely on their times tables knowledge to help them solve problems. Therefore, it is important that they continue to practise their times tables at home.

For International Week, Sea Turtles have represented Australia and we have been learning so many fascinating facts, such as the fact that Australia is the biggest island in the world and is also a country AND the main part of an entire continent! The class are very much looking forward to making the famous Australian party food, ‘Fairy Bread’, creating some wonderful Aboriginal dot paintings and writing a poem describing different Australian landscapes.

Finally, just as a reminder to you all, it is very important that the children are reading at home and recording what they have read in their school planners under the correct week as well as learning their spellings for the week as we have a weekly test every Friday.
