In Maths this week, we have been focusing on factors and multiples as well as rules of divisibility. For example, if the sum of the digits in a number is a multiple of 9, it is in the 9 times table: 6093 -> 6 + 0 + 9 + 3 = 18, so 6093 is divisible by 9

In English, we have continued to explore the classic children’s castaway novel, ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’. Michael, the star of our story, has been washed on an island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean and has finally met the mysterious Kensuke. The children have been writing a character description of Kensuke, exploring the island survivor as a person, character and a key figure in the novel.

We used our measuring, cutting and joining skills in D.T to create a vehicle chassis. Over the next few weeks, we will use our load-bearing frame to support the electric vehicle which we are creating.

As well as this, we have continued to explore coastal processes in geography. After looking at how a beach formed, we have extended this further by investigating how stacks, stumps and arches are formed. We look forward to studying in more depth in the coming week.
