Literacy:

We have been learning about the features of a newspaper so that we can write our own newspaper articles about a Victorian cotton mill accident! We wrote some great headlines using alliteration and puns to grab the reader’s attention.

Numeracy:
This week for our money topic we worked at different stations where we had to solve word problems, write cheques and add and subtract money. We have also been looking at bus and train timetables and working out how long different journeys last. We have also been thinking of really good strategies for Number Talks.

The Victorians:

This week we have been learning about the New Lanark Cotton Mill before we go on our trip next week. Since we have been creating presentations about Victorian Inventions, we worked in groups to design our own inventions for school children. We are looking forward to giving our presentations – everyone has been working hard at home.
