Wow! Another week done!

We have had a great week which has included a fabulous author visit. Steve Clifford gave the children a workshop on writing and editing. The children did a fantastic job and produced some lovely writing. They developed some great editing skills...ask them about sticky words.

This week, in Maths, we have continued learning about place value in large numbers and in English how to write a job advert.

In Science we carried out scientific investigations.

Our Geography topic has been looking at how we can make our local area fit for the future and sustainability. It's been a busy week!

Don't forget we have two PE lessons, Wednesday and friday so please check you have your PE kit in school for those days.

A reminder to the whole class that you need to remember to fill in your reading diary after you have read and then get an adult to sign it.

You should be reading five times a week. Then put it straight back in your bag so it is in school everyday!

Please remember that if you have anything you want to talk about in school there are lots of adults who can support you.

Have a great weekend.

Here you will also find work that can be completed at home. The work is for the whole week so please do not try to complete it all in a day. You can choose your level of challenge.
