This week we played Mrs Connell’s Big Writing Game. This game is known for its magical powers of helping the class produce fantastic writing. We wrote descriptions about the setting using similes and then used our gameplay to write a beginning, problem and ending.
We’ve been continuing our work on fractions.
We explored percentages and used the Diene’s materials to create an image of a percentage. Some of use also found a percentage of a number, converting a percentage to a fraction.
This week in literacy we have been learning how to use speech marks and commas. We used a game about an ancient temple to write our stories. Click on the links below to read our writing.

In maths we have learned how to use the written method for subtraction and we used the dienes blocks to help us exchange hundreds, tens and units.
In art we learned about perspective drawings and then drew the Polar Express. We used the vanishing point, horizon lines and guidelines to help us.
In PE we have been doing basketball and this week we were perfecting our passing and dribbling.
On Thursday, we shared our writing across the whole school. We wrote instructions on how to make the most disgusting sandwich. We certainly put Mrs Connell off her lunch. We peer assessed in pairs, then groups, using the success criteria and sentence starters to leave feedback.
