In English, we wrote fantastic arguments for and against homework for children at Primary School. We gave our own good opinions and reasons for these.
In Maths, we worked on multiplying and dividing fractions.
In RE, we started the topic - Serving (this includes Pentecost). We listened to a story about a witness. Following this, we had mini-debates on the subject: Is it better not to be a witness or to be one?
In PE, we practised our cricket skills - we played mini games and put into practice some new skills we'd learnt.
In French, we completed our end of topic assessment. We demonstrated our listening, writing and reading skills linked to items of clothing/colour/description.
