7th to 11th September 2015
In English this week, we have used Philip Ridley's novel The Hooligan's Shampoo as a focus for our work on fiction and descriptive writing. We investigated the plot structure used in the book and thought about the way the author has used repetition. Then we wrote an additional episode using this analysis as our guide. We have also used the descriptions of exotic goods in Mr. Shopkeeper's shop as a model to write some expanded noun phrases.
After finishing our work on calculations (focusing on multiplication and division) we moved on to a new unit about place value and decimal numbers. Our activities have included ordering and partitioning numbers (including decimal numbers) and thinking about the value of digits in numbers.

We have also started our Desert Island topic, thinking mainly about basic human needs, keeping safe and healthy and also making shelters our of fallen tree branches, twigs, leaves, moss and other found materials. In addition, we had our first lesson on the ukulele, did some atlas work locating the continents and oceans of the world, had two sessions of PE, started our science topic on The Earth in Space and did some art.
