We have continued with our unit of work on instruction writing this week. Having written introductions and endings for instructions about how to polish your shoes, we turned our attention to writing instructions to tell someone how to make a weaving frame. (This links with our design technology project.)

In maths we did some work on maths problems at the start of the week, making sure that we read the questions carefully and find the essential information before deciding and doing the calculations. Later in the week, we concentrated on telling the time and using the 24-hour clock.

We have spent some time with our weaving this week and most of us have made very good progress towards finishing our woven panels and we have also had two full rehearsals of our Christmas production. This is based on Charles Dicken's story, A Christmas Carol and is set in a 21st century television studio where the key question of a Crimewatch Christmas Special is whether Scrooge really changed or was kidnapped or murdered and replaced by someone who would be generous with all Scrooge's money!
