Week commencing 15th April,

Dear Families,

This in week in maths, we have been dividing a one and 2 digit number by 10, we understand that by doing this we are moving the number one place right and making it 10 times smaller. We have been using place value charts to help us with our understanding.

In English, we have begun to write our biography about Lewis Carrol. The children are learning that their biography must be in chronological order so that we understand how key events may have impacted their lives. We are also trying to use more serious and formal language such as father instead of dad, brilliant instead of amazing.

In RE, we have been learning about the term 'fishers of men' and how this was used by Jesus to recruit his disciples to help him create his ministry.

Homework this week is maths, pages 14 and 16 are to be completed and returned to school no later than Wednesday 24th April.

Week commencing 8 April 2024

Dear Families,

This week in maths, we have been learning about decimals and their equivalent fractions.  We have been counting up in tenths and understand that we say 1 instead of 0.10. We have also been learning to count in decimals beyond 1. 

In English, we have been researching Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland as we are going to write a biography about him next week.  Ask you child if they can tell you a fact about Lewis Carroll.

Our new topic in science is states of matter. We have been learning about the properties of liquids, solids and gases and how their particles behave. We had a lot of fun acting out behaviour of the different particles.

Homework this week is English. Books are to be returned to school no later than Wednesday 17th April.
