Elm Class - Term 4

This term, our text type in English is Spooky Stories. The children have enjoyed exploring various short stories, with more of a focus on those of a spookier nature! After exploring various short stories, the children were given different short stories to map out in their pairs. They created a story map that retold the story using only images or individual words (if an image was complicated), before retelling the story to the rest of their table group. The children have enjoyed reading the short stories and are looking forward to writing their own later this term.

Elm Class - Spooky Story Maps

Before half-term, and in our session last week, the children have been exploring the use of different formulae in Computing. They have been considering the most effective method of solving tricky calculations in tables of data, whilst also making use of the software to perform a probability test that modelled the rolling of a dice 1000 times. In our next two lessons, the children will be applying their new understanding of formula to a real-life simulation model - a cake sale.
