Summary of this week:

This week in Maths we have been completing our NTS assessments. The children have worked really hard on these and should be proud of their effort!  

In English, we have written our innovation of Alice and in wonderland with a focus on building tension and using expanded noun phrases.   

In Geography, we have continued learning about Antarctica with a focus on its key physical features.  

In Science, we have been learning about fossils, looking at different examples and working out which living thing it could have been thousands of years ago.

In Reading, we have completed our reading NTS assessments and have been studying the text ‘The Seeds of Friendship’.

In Art, we have been learning how to use different textures in everyday environments to create different patterns.
In RE, we have been discussing if Christmas has lost its true meaning.  

 

Our learning next week:
