What was your favourite part of the London trip? Please add your comment. For those of you not going to London you have a project! While your classmates are in London you will be taking a trip to some other capital cities...a virtual trip! I would like you to choose one other European capital city and, using an iPad, produce a presentation to be showed to the rest of the class on Thursday morning. You could take a walk around the city on google street view, take some screen grabs (press the power button and the home together) and import these photos into another app. I would also like you to find out about important landmarks in the city and add this element to your presentation. Also add key facts: population, currency, languages, etc. I would like your presentation to be an exciting multi-media presentation, not a slide by slide PowerPoint. What about music from that city? What about videos? Use your imagination. Possible apps to use: videoscribe, Adobe slate, video camera, puppet pals, photostory, voice record, keynote, etc Greek MythsOur first topic of the term is Greek Myths and we shall be looking at the story of Jason and the Argonauts. We'll be learning about the structure of a myth and will be working towards writing our own. If you have a Greek myth book you'd like to share with the class please bring it in.
We have also recently look at the differences between ei and ie spellings. Update 24/04/15 - We introduced the spellings for this half term (on the homework sheet) and have spent time researching the right sort of Greek vocabulary to use. Children have also begun planning and writing their own myth. FractionsWe have started this term looking at fractions again. We'll be learning how to find a fractions of an amount. Here's one to try: what is 4/5 of 325? Remember divide by the denominator then multiply by the numerator.
We'll also be learning how to simplify fractions. update 24/04/15 - We've moved on to solving word problems involving fractions and length and weight. Summer Term NewsletterI've had a go at producing this term's newsletter using Adobe Slate. Here's the link. Please let me you know what you think of the new format.
