We have had a short but busy week at school. We have started our new topic “World War 2”. We are really excited about learning about different aspects of the war. We would like to learn about Adolf Hitler, women’s role during the War, the Blitz and much more. We also wanted to learn some German so this week we learned some basic German phrases such as ‘Guten Tag’ which mean good day and ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ which means good bye. We are researching some other German phrases related to the war such as ‘Blitzkreig’.

This week we have started reading ‘The Boy in Striped Pyjamas’. It has about a boy called Bruno who has to move house with his family. At the moment he does not know why he has had to move house but we know it is something to do with his father’s job.

In maths the Decahedrons have been finishing work on fractions and began to explore some third level concepts such as dividing fractions. The Hexagons have begun to learn about long division and the pentagons are beginning to use a standard written method for division.

Have a good weekend!
