Good evening to all,

The children have had a very productive week in English planning their own version of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. They have worked very hard checking they have changed the characters and repeated phrases, including commas, adjectives and exclamation marks.

Next week, the children will write their stories and we will be continuing our topic on recurring language. We will be looking at the story The Enormous Turnip.

In maths, the children learnt about pictograms, tally charts, tables and totaling and comparing amounts in block graphs. The children discussed the graphs in detail and answered questions to consolidate their learning.

Next week, the children will be solving calculations with addition and subtraction, using bar models.

In science, the children named and described how humans change as they grow.

Next week, the children will discuss the basic needs they would need on their trip to mars.

In art, we discussed where different fruits are grown.

Next week, the children will write down all the equipment and which fruit they would need to make their fruit kebab for the following week.

In history, the children learnt the events of the Great Fire.

Next week, the children will find out why the fire spread so quickly.

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1 – as, no, mum, one

Group 2 – let’s, I’m, I’ve, isn’t, can’t, it’s, I’ll, didn’t

Group 3 – they’re, couldn’t, hasn’t, we’ve
