Reading

Read out loud every day for 20 minutes. Talk to somebody at home about the punctuation used in speech and look out for it when you are reading.

Spelling

Here are your spellings this week. Most of the words have double letters, try to remember where the double letters are. These are tricky spellings; you will need to practise every day.

Spelling Challenge

This week in maths we ordered and simplified fractions. This was tricky but everybody embraced the challenge and did an amazing job!

In English we wrote stories all about time travel. Everybody decided where in time their character would travel to and decided how to make their stories interesting to the reader.

In RE we spoke about different Christian communities. We discussed some of the differences between the different denominations, but we focussed on the similarities, especially that we all share Jesus’ mission. Christians believe that we should love one another.

In art we started our set design for the chocolate room in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was amazing to see everybody use their imagination. We can’t wait to see the finished pieces!

Have a happy weekend.
