Review and preview

English
This week we watched video footage of the floods that Pattaya recently suffered and took notes, drafted and edited before writing our final copy this coming Monday.
Next week we will complete our final copy of our newspaper report and then begin our study of Jacqueline Wilson's book The Suitcase Kid
Maths
This week we developed our understanding of how to read a 24 hour clock and timetable. We also used doubling or halving twice to multiply or divide by 4 accordingly.

Next week we will continue to look at measure by converting metric measurements, as well as calculating the perimeter of shapes.


Art
We focussed on adding texture to our drawings of dinosaurs using coloured pencils.
Next week we will be making 3D flowers from different materials.
PSHE
We discussed what a good friend can do to help us remain calm in stressful situations 
This week we will talk about what strategies we can use to help remain calm in uncomfortable situations.
Humanities
We have been thinking what can we learn from fossils. For example, how the dinosaurs may have lived or died and what they may have eaten by looking at their teeth. 
Next week we will be looking at how dinosaurs protected themselves and going on a fossil hunt.
Science
This week we look at what a seed needs to germinate and what a food chain of a dinosaur may have been like.
Next week we will be carrying out some experiments on seed germination and learning about photosynthesis.
