5th and 6th January
We have begun the new term with a different focus on our English writing work. We are thinking more about the purpose of our writing and the skill of planning an effective, well organised piece of work. Following our descriptive writing at the end of last term, we are building on this to write a letter asking for help in identifying a flanimal that we (allegedly) found at school.
Our maths this week is concerned with calculations and fractions. We have been checking up on addition and subtraction of decimal numbers and mental multiplication (with sums like 42 x 6). Today we also did some written division calculations based on problems involving fractions.
In geography we have begun collecting information (from the internet) about our chosen mountain ranges in preparation for producing a PowerPoint presentation about this in ICT and we have also had our French, PSHCE and PE sessions today.
