This week, in English, the children have converted their short oral story into
writing. In particular they focussed on using different sentence types (compound,
complex and short, impact) and editing their work to continuously improve it.
They used word processing software to type up their story in various fonts and
illustrate appropriately, in order to create a class book of short stories!
In Maths, they have been revising written methods of division and mental maths
strategies.
For Topic, they have learnt about reasons for Vikings leaving their homeland in
longships. For the class longship, they have designed a figure head, painted photos
of themselves to change into Viking warriors and painted Viking shields designed
by them.
In Science they finished drawing their classification key to organise different
living organisms and worked through online classification keys.
They also continued their Samba Drumming and were visited by Daventry
District Council, who talked about what they do!
