We have made the most of the glorious spring weather with the children collecting data outside in maths, enjoying free reading in the afternoon sun and boosting their vitamin D levels during break and lunch.
In English, we are introducing children to the art of essay writing as they consider whether the risks posed by Artificial Intelligence outweigh the potential benefits. It has sparked some interesting discussions and healthy debate!
Our maths focus has been statistics with children exploring the importance and purpose of data collection, representation and interpretation. This culminated in a playful enquiry session with children given the opportunity to collect data and decide how best to represent it. Purposeful maths in action.
Looking ahead to the final week of spring term:
English: Drafting and publishing our essays.
Maths: Co-ordinates and translations.
Science: Continuing with our sustainability project.
Spanish: Reviewing our learning so far (greetings, colours, numbers to ten and days of the week).
