10th and 11th September
We have begun a unit of work about fiction texts in English. We are working towards developing our ideas about different fiction genres, but much of our work will focus on learning to analyse and think about the structure of stories. We will also be working on developing the variety of sentence structures we use in our own writing.
Yesterday we thought about different kinds of texts - non-fiction and different types of stories - and today we looked at a short story entitled Rugby and the Snake, exploring the opening, build-up, climax, resolution and ending, and thinking about the plan that the author may have had in mind when she was writing these elements.
In maths we have been doing some work about place value, reading and writing large numbers and counting forwards and backwards in steps of 5, 4 and seven.
We used our ICT session to go on the internet and find information about different environments or biomes to help us produce a spider diagram highlighting the features of these different sorts of places.
This afternoon, we had our French lesson, PSHCE session and PE with the YMCA teachers.
