In literacy we have been learning how to write a set of instructions and an information text, with a focus on writing an effective introduction and conclusion. We have enjoyed reading our class novel ‘The SpiderWick Chronicles’ and have been exploring interesting vocabulary through this, using contextual clues to work out what words mean. We have also been learning about how to provide evidence to support our points. We have analysed characters in our novel, explained our points and then provided evidence.

In numeracy, we have had a focus on multiplication and division, looking at a range of strategies such as multiplication grids and bar models. We have also been learning how to find the percentage of a number and have been using our division strategies to support us in doing this. Now we are learning about different types of angles and are using protractors to measure angles of different sizes.

In our skills afternoons, we completed house projects! We designed our own homes, created detailed house descriptions which we then made using AI technology and designed floorplans using measurements. We are hoping to now move on to learn more about Space in our skills afternoons.
