In Topic at the moment, we are learning all about the chronology of significant events that had major impacts on the human evolution and the development of Earth. This learning is followed on by our science unit where we are learning about evolution and inheritance.
In-class Learning
Maths
In maths, we will cover ratio which shows the relationship between two values and describe how one is related to another. We will start by making simple comparisons between two different quantities, followed by links to fractions and learning to calculate ratios using scale factors.
English
In English at the moment, our focus is on persuasive writing. We are analysing our model text to learn from its vocabulary and structure. At the end of the unit, we will produce our own chocolate menu which will persuade our readers to want to buy our chocolates.
