In Literacy, we have been learning more about information reports. We know we need to use present tense when we are writing an information report. We have continued to learn more about cursive script and have been trying to write some capital letters this week. We have been learning how to use contractions.  We know you use a apostrophe to replace the missing letters. For example do not =don’t, could not = couldn’t.

In Maths, we have been learning to use the empty number line strategy. We have tried lots of different subtraction sums. We have been putting a 100 square together and using our knowledge of number to work out where all the parts go.

In RERC, we talked about the Eucharist and how we need to be thankful. We tried to write a thanksgiving prayer to God. We thanked him for our family, friends, nature and His love.

We have used the laptops this week to help us learn to type and find the keys on the keyboard using a game called Dance Mat Typing- we had great fun!

We had the first part of our sports day this week.  We had to race against our year group in lots of different races. It was a fun and lovely morning. Please check the school app or our Twitter page to see pictures of the winners of each race. We cannot wait for part two!

In Science, we were learning about fossil fuels in our Energy topic. We know that coal and oil are found underground and that they have a range of uses. We use energy everyday.

In Expressive Arts, we looked at the artist Piet Mondrian. He painted pictures with lots of different squares and rectangles. He could make lots of different pictures out of the shapes. He used primary colours in his art work.  These are red, yellow and blue.  We created our own picture using a ruler and the primary colours.

In HWB, we were thinking about how we can make the world a better place to live in.  We thought about the sustainability goals and how we can help the world.

This week have been presenting to our class about our hobbies.  We have learned all about football, dancing, hiking, gymnastics, roller skating, swimming and Lego building.  The talks were fantastic! Thank you for all of your support in helping your child to create them.
