Spelling Challenge
We have had a great week this week, made even better by a little bit of sunshine.
In English we continued reading our class novel Varjak Paw. We have been learning about subordinating conjunctions. We used this video to help us remember what a subordinating conjunction does, and some examples. Have fun singing and dancing along at home.
In maths we have been multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 and using these skills to solve problems, including converting between measures such and centimetres and metres.
In RE we enjoyed re-enacting the conversion of Saul to Christianity. We thought about the feelings and experiences of the different people who were there.
We started our new geography topic all about Europe and Greece. We recapped the continents by singing our beloved continents song.
Have a super weekend!
