Dear Families

Literacy

We have continued to read our class novel, George’s Marvellous Medicine. We made our own marvellous medicine recipes and designed the bottles, remembering to create warnings on the label! We even linked this to a science lesson, where we were testing out if vinegar or water mix with oil.

We have begun a focus on persuasive writing (also called exposition). We have been planning to write a persuasive writing piece about why we should wear school uniform. We have created the series of arguments we will use in our final writing next week.

Numeracy

We have been working on our 4 times table this week.

We were revising our knowledge of money and coins. We were working out the coins needed for certain amounts.

We discovered that you can reveal a shield when you put some of the new coins together.
