This week we have been very busy. In numeracy we have been using the bus stop method or short division to solve our division sums. We have also been singing our times tables to a song to help us remember them.

We continued our response writing, this time studying the painting ‘Orkney Pebbles’ by Hope Blamire. We are getting much more confident at accurately describing the subject matter and atmosphere in the art we study.

We had a fabulous day on Thursday at Verdant Works. While we had been studying cotton mills and what it was like working in them, it was an incredible experience to hear and see them working. We learnt so much about the Victorians and their way of life and the technologies of the time.

For our outdoor learning, we created comedy sketches in groups inspired by Comic Relief. These were very entertaining and all very unique!

We finished the week with Newport’s Got Talent. It was a brilliant end to the week with so many incredible skills on show.
