It was an interesting first week back, as we met our new head teacher, Mrs Strathearn, had a very snowy day and saw all our friends again after the holiday.

Our learning in reading was non fiction texts. We identified the differences between fiction and non fiction texts, and how the features help us to find the information we need.

In writing we are learning about the purpose and features of information reports before we write our own.

Next Thursday is World Book Day so we are making a class book about our favourite books, to share with our partner school in Nepal.

In maths we have been adding and rounding decimals, and will be applying what we know about decimal places in our next topic, money. We have also learned about grams and kilograms and will be weighing food items.

Our topic on the layers of the Earth led us to look at earthquakes. We have found where in the world the fault lines are.

Tuesday was Thinking Day and here are our Brownies and Cubs in their uniforms.
