Welcome back everyone!

We got stuck into our work right away and produced lots of good work this week.

Our literacy focus this week was writing an informal letter. We looked at the structure and the content of letters. In our book Private Peaceful, Tommo found out that his brother Charlie and his friend Molly had been lying to him. We decided to use the skills we worked on through out the week and wrote a letter as if we were Tommo. We used lots of adjectives to describe how hurt and upset we were.

During the war recruitment propaganda was used to convince people to come and join the army. We looked at posters and discussed what the images and the text were promoting. We planned and designed our own posters.

In maths this week we were looking at different ways to approach subtraction calculations. We used number lines to help us count back and count on to help solve the calculations.
