This week we started our new topic about farming. We learnt about different types of farms and what was grown/raised on them. There are two main types of farms: Arable and Livestock and we had to sort out the farms into categories based on what was on them.

We also learnt how plants grow from a seed and next week we will be planting our own seeds to grow. We will have to look after them so that they don’t die!

In literacy, we were learning about speech marks and also how to write a recount. We wrote about our Easter holidays. Some of us wrote about a day and some of us wrote about all the holidays, but, we all had to write it in order using sequence words like first, next then and finally. We also had to write a letter to the council because we did not want our holidays cancelled. We used sequence words in this as well giving reasons why we should have the holidays.

In maths, we are learning our timetables. We started with revising the 2, 5 & 10 times tables and have played lots of games to remember the facts. We are also learning how to tell the time.

Enjoy your long weekend!
