Ithaca Class week ending 01.11.24

This week in Ithaca…

In Maths, we have continued to focus on adding two 4 digit numbers with more than one exchange and compliments to 100 and 1,000. The children used place value counters in a place
value chart alongside the formal written method. Furthermore, the children considered whether they have enough ones/tens/hundreds to make an exchange.

In English, we focused on expressing opinions about a text and identify adjective phrases that create a vivid picture. The children were able to write an opening paragraph for chapter one in the class text that engage the reader with the use of imagery, repetition, rhetorical questions and short sharp sentences to build suspense.

In Science, we have focused on sorting animals into groups based on shared characteristics. The children were able to identify broad groups of animals (invertebrates) and created a carroll diagram to sort the invertebrate cards. The children used animal sorting word banks to consider a variety of criteria.

For those of you who will be remaining in school, you will be having a fun packed few days all about the Romans. You will need to bring in some resources. Please see the list below:

• Empty cereal boxes
• Kitchen roll tubes
• Any small cardboard packaging including paper packaging (Amazon)

Please find the home learning attached:
