This week we have been using the grid method to support our multiplication learning with the aim of increasing our confidence in being able to manipulate sums to solve them efficiently. Some of us moved onto identifying prime numbers.

We created symmetrical insect art using a collage technique, inspired by the Victorian fascination with entomology.

We learnt about the Victorian poet, Edward Lear, and looked at some of his nonsense poems such as the Owl and the Pussycat. We considered how the number of syllables effects the rhythm of a poem and then created limericks, following the AABBA rhyming pattern.

We worked on moving into space to support attacking play in rugby and had a great judo session.
