Welcome back Boys and Girls.

This week…

We were introduced to our new writing block. This term we will be looking at exposition writing which is to persuade by arguing one point of view. We looked at an example of a piece of exposition text and then looked closely at this to see what we need to include and what grammar we need to focus on.

We started our maths block on decimals and perimeter. In perimeter we looked at perimeters of rectangles and we had to work out the sides of a rectangle if you only know one side and the perimeter. In decimals we have been looking at place value and the link with decimals and fractions.

We also started our topic work this week. Across P6 and P7, each class are going to be focussing on a decade. P6/7 are looking at the 1970s and P6 are looking at the 1950’s. We began by creating questions on what we want to learn about and then looked at key events that happened in our decade.

We have had a great day today as we began our block of photography. We looked at taking photos in a variety of lighting conditions and adjusting the focus and exposure on what we have snapped. Take a look at some of our examples below. We are really proud of them.
