It was a busy week in class VW. In maths, the children have been looking at reasoning with negative numbers and moving onto formal methods for addition and subtraction in the latter part of the week. We've been focussing on the layout of our workings and how to formulate written responses to reasoning problems, as well as proving how we drew that conclusion.
We've started our topic of 'Fallen Fields' which has a WW1 focus. The children have looked at the chronology and trigger points of the war and listened to an account from a soldier who was about to enter the war. Then, we discussed how he might have felt and constructed diary entries to convey emotion.
In our RE lessons, we've started to investigate how a Christian might interpret Incarnation and looked at the famous 'Jesus on the Tube' painting to help us understand the artist's motives.
Our science has included an investigation into gestation periods and comparing size of mammal to gestation period.
