Maths.
We have continued practising adding 1’s, 10’s and 100’s mentally. We all had a go at completing these two number chains by working out what we have added to the number each time and writing it in the arrows. Have a go to see if you can complete it too.
English
Today we read another poem called From the Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson. Some of us looked at repeating phrases such as ‘charging along’ and ‘painted stations whistle by’ while the rest of the class read the poem over the top. We call this repeated rhythmic pattern Ostinato. Have a read and try it for yourself.
(Introduction: train wheel rhythm 1)
Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging along like troops in a battle,
All through the meadows the horses and cattle:
All of the sights of the hill and the plain
Fly as thick as driving rain;
And ever again, in the wink of an eye,
Painted stations whistle by.
(Interlude: train wheel rhythms 1 and 2)
Science
We have started our new science topic of Plants today and we have spent the afternoon looking at how plants: vegetables, trees and flowers all have very similar parts. Have a go at the sheet below to match up the correct part of the plant to their correct jobs.
