This week, we have been learning about the day to day life of a child working in a Victorian cotton mill- what they may have eaten, worn, how they washed and what their working conditions were like. In our writing, we created imaginative recounts to describe what a day in their lives were like, focussing on writing in the first person and in the past tense.

We started to use a column multiplication method to multiply a one digit number by 2, 3 or 4 digits.

We learnt about defensive techniques in rugby, practicing working as a team to defend against attacking runners.

We also completed our ‘book creator’ information texts on our experiment into how sound waves move, including learning to change the format of a photo so it can be uploaded into our book.
