We have had a wonderful week this week.

In English, we finished reading our class novel Street Child. We wrote a persuasive radio advert to persuade children to go to the circus, this was after reading about the circus that the main character Jim visited. The focus was on using vocabulary and sentences that would persuade a child.

In Maths, we have been solving problems involving multiplication. We used different strategies including doubling and halving, and drawing bar models.

In RE, we watched videos about the Jewish festival Passover. We then wrote a diary entry as if we were one of the slaves freed from Egypt. We focused on what life had been like and how Passover would be remembered in the future. We also made our Lenten promises, we spoke about saying sorry for the things we have done wrong and turning over a new leaf. We all decided something we would do during the season of Lent to become a better person. 

We had a sporty day on Thursday with a dance session from South Ribble and our PE lesson. We loved learning a new dance and in PE we did some tag rugby and gymnastics. Everybody was amazing!

Have a happy weekend
