In Maths we have been learning subtraction strategies. We have learnt the split strategy and counting backwards on a number line. We have also been learning about angles. We have learnt 45, 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees. Along side this we also learnt clockwise and anticlockwise which we used to follow instructions such as turn 90 degrees clockwise.

In Literacy this week we were learning about persuasive writing. We explored why local businesses are good and how they help us within the local community. We also learnt how to edit our writing adding in better vocabulary to make our writing better.

In h

Health and Wellbeing, we were learning about our rights. We learnt about different types of abuse and who we can speak to when we feel stressed. We learnt the Childline number and how we can use this to speak to an adult to reduce our worries. We learnt about what our safe adults can make us feel and who our trusted adults are.

In our PE this week we were learning how to tackle opponents in basketball. We worked in two groups, one group worked one vs one with a partner where one person was dribbling their ball, and their opponent had to try and tackle them safely. The second group were working in a three vs three group, three people had the ball and were trying to pass it to their teammates while the other three were trying to defend and get the ball off the other team.

We have been learning how to make a difference in our local community as part of our first Festive Friday. We were creating jokes which we will be putting in goody bags for those less fortunate than us who may be spending Christmas alone. By doing this we are aiming to spread joy around Christmas time.
