Week 3 in 4AK!

Date: 21st Sep 2023 @ 1:09pm

What an exciting week this has been! 

In P.E in our gymnastics lesson we practiced our forward roll, it was challenging! We had a fantastic swimming lesson where we were taught how to get into the pool safely and some of us even went into the 2m pool!

We continued our science unit on teeth, learning all about the structure of teeth. We used our key vocabulary root, crown, enamel, dentine and pulp to label a diagram of a tooth. We also learnt about what type of teeth a carnivore, herbivore and omnivore have. We know that carnivores have long sharp canines to tear their prey! 

This week, we also delved deeper into the world of Ancient Maya, describing their society and their jobs. We learnt that priests were the most important part of society and they were bought gifts and other maya would work for them for free!

In maths, we have mastered using column subtraction and addition with more than one exchange and can solve worded problems.  In English, we practised our retrieval and inference skills, and showed off our skills using speech, fronted adverbials and  expanded noun phrases to write our own Maya myth!

In Music we played lots of singing games and learnt how to control the tempo of a musical instrument in our new maya song. After our spanish lesson we now know our numbers 0-10 in Spanish!

Next week, we have PE on Monday so we'll need to wear the correct kit, and we continue swimming on Wednesday.

Check back next week for more information!
