This Week  
Next Week
English
This week we created our own individual stories based on The Legend of the Wawel Dinosaur. We planned our stories with our own settings, characters and  plots. We then displayed our stories as a story map. Come along and see the display.
Next week, we will be starting our unit on informational texts. We will look at how to create the structure of a news article and tie it in with dinosaurs.
Math
In Maths we revised over what the students will need to know for their reviews next week including timestables and other forms of calculation.
In Maths we will have two Maths reviews. The first is on Tuesday and the second on Wednesday.
Humanities
For Humanities, we looked at different flying reptiles including how big they were as well as where they were found. 
Next week, we will look at dinosaurs that lived in the sea and how they managed to survive in prehistoric times.
Science
This week, we looked at the different muscles that we have in our bodies, how they work and how to look after them. We also made a lung from a bottle and looked at how it inflates and deflates.
Next week, we will look closer at xrays and bone fractures with an experiment on muscle tension.
Art
In Art, we started making our own dinosaur dioramas out of a shoebox. We will also look at ways to make the shoebox into a realistic habitat for different dinosaurs.
Next week, we will finish off making our dinosaur dioramas.
PSHE
This week, we looked at what issues are important to bring to the teacher and what issues the students should be able to sort out themselves.
Next week we will look at the positives that have happened to students in our class as well as things that we can do to improve our class
