Ithaca Class week ending – 10.01.25

This week in Ithaca…

In English, the children focused on using powerful phrases, developing prediction skills and understanding the impact of word choice. The children were able to describe a setting using powerful adjectives, expanded noun phrases and their five senses. Furthermore, the children made predictions about character’s actions and expressed an opinion on word choice through suggesting alternative words to change the impact on the reader.

In Maths, the children learnt that area is the amount of space taken up by a two-dimensional shape or surface. They explore different ways of working out the area of a shape, made rectilinear shapes using a given number of squares and work systematically to find and compare the areas of all the different rectilinear shapes.

In Geography, the children have been learning about the Amazon rainforest. The children considered and identified the location using an atlas and features of the Amazon rainforest and were able to describe and give examples of a biome. Furthermore, the children named and described the characteristics of the four layers of a tropical rainforest.
