We have been practising our maths skills in our maths groups every day this week.  We have been learning how to subtract and all the different ways we might be asked to do this.   If we see minus, less than, take away and difference between we know we need to subtract.

We have made William Wallace and King Edward I this week.  We have tried to make them life-sized.  Edward was 6 feet and 2 inches tall but William Wallace was 7 feet tall!

We have been writing facts about William Wallace –  we have learned that he was bloodthirsty.  He killed some soldiers who accused him of stealing fish and he killed his school bully.  We think he was savage!

We have been practising our reading strategies,  particularly to read around the word we don’t understand and see what would make sense.
