23 Hawthorn wb 13th March
We've enjoyed another great week of learning in Hawthorn class.
We continued our work on 'The Disgusting Sandwich' in English. On Monday, the children practised writing expanded noun phrases, on Tuesday, we turned our attention to past tense verbs, on Wednesday, we looked at exciting language that the author has used in the story and on Thursday, we started to think about new settings and characters for our own stories.
We are coming to the end of our Length and Height unit in maths and are looking forward to starting Mass and Volume/Capacity next week. If you get a chance, please encourage your child to practice their measuring skills at home.
In topic, we turned our attention to local geography. The children learnt that we live in the county of Worcestershire and had a go at finding both it and Ashton under Hill on a map of England. They also explored the differences between a village, town and city - looking specifically at Ashton, Evesham and Worcester.
In computing, we continued our work on Data and Information. We used a resource https://www.j2e.com/jit5#pictogram
to enter data into an online pictogram. The children will be exploring pictograms in more detail next week.

Finally, in Science we have been looking at changes in materials and the children investigated which materials could be bent, stretched, twisted or squashed. We had lots of different materials to try and the children really enjoyed being investigative scientists!
