In English we have begun to look at explanatory texts, texts which explain how something works or explain a natural or social phenomenon. We have spent some time thinking about the features found in this type of writing and have highlighted and annotated an example of this type of text. Today we used another example to discuss and explain these important features.

We have continued our work on symmetry in maths and have also thought about some key vocabulary in relation to shape including the terms parallel and perpendicular. We had our PE lesson with the YMCA, Spanish and handwriting session, and today we did a multi-media art activity to produce some work for a display on the theme of "creepy-crawlies". We used paint, felt pens, chalk pastels and oil pastels to produce a set of "bugs".
