Good morning Oak 3, 

 

I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, I certainly did looking through all your pirate photos that you sent in. 

 

The week looks like this:

 

This week in Literacy, we will be getting to know the story of The Tempest, looking at Shakespearean language and revising noun / expanded noun phases. In Maths this week we will be revising addition and subtraction by using  column addition to add three 2- and 3-digit numbers together and four 2- and 3-digit numbers together; subtract 3-digit numbers using counting up and solving word problems choosing an appropriate method. We will continue with our science topic, animals including humans and will have the chance to make our own model arm to show how muscles work in pairs. In art we will be looking at Turner’s storm paintings, such as ‘Stormy Sea with Blazing Wreck’ and ‘Stormy Sea with Dolphins’. We will then create our own stormy sea pictures in the style of Turner to illustrate the opening of The Tempest, using blending and layering techniques and thinking carefully about areas of light and dark in the picture.
