Spelling Challenge

We have had a lovely week this week.

In English we wrote poems all about Earth Day. We used this poem as an example.

Our planet Earth.

Our planet Earth – so beautiful,

A planet of land and water,

How will it look for your children?

Or your great grandson or daughter?

Ask yourself, “Am I bothered?”

Ask yourself, “Do I care?”

Ask yourself, “Can I make a change?”

It’s a responsibility we all share.

Are you prepared to make a change?

Instead of driving, will you walk?

Or catch a bus or cycle?

Or is this just all talk?

We can all do our bit to help.

We can use less plastic each day.

We only have one planet Earth.

Let’s make a change, what do you say?

In maths we have been learning about prime numbers. A prime number only has two factors, one and itself. We have also been practising multiplying three-digit numbers by two-digit numbers. Everybody did such an amazing job.

In RE we have been learning about the Holy Spirit and Pentecost. We spoke about why Jesus died for us and how the disciples felt at the time.

We started our new topic in science all about animals including humans. We revised some features of mammals and their life cycles. We also looked at the life cycle of some insects including butterflies.

Have a super weekend!
