English

Our writing this week has been phenomenal. We have been writing setting descriptions using a range of different skills. We have been using our expanded noun phrases and verb and adverb pairs as well as fronted adverbials. We wrote beautiful descriptions of the faraway tree. 

World Book day was so much fun! The children looked fantastic and we had a wonderful day with lots and lots and LOTS of reading! The children explored poetry and we learnt to perform two special poems that we hope to show you in our celebration assembly in a few weeks. We spent the afternoon creating beautiful art work to go with our learning. 

Next week we will be continuing to write settings, creating our own lands that could be at the top of the tree.

Maths

We began the week consolidating our division knowledge - we moved onto using the short method, using our understanding from the previous week.

We then moved on to learning about statistics. We were able to create our own bar chats, then interpreted data from different representations. 

Next week we will be using all four operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide).
