Happy Friday!

In English the children have worked extremely hard planning their own version of the story of ‘The Enormous Turnip,‘ they have included different recurring language and changed the characters. The children have started to write the beginning of their story.

Next week, the children will finish their own version of ‘The Enormous Turnip’ and self-mark checking that they have change the characters and repeated phrases and included commas and exclamation marks. During the end of the week, we will discuss acrostic poems and create a poem on The Great Fire of London.

In maths, we finished our topic on money and have started learning grouping and ungrouping on multiplication and division.

Next week, we will be looking at arrays to solve multiplication calculations.

In D&T our topic is on healthy food, this Thursday the children will be creating fruit kebabs. (The children do not need to bring in any fruit for this lesson, the school will provide this)

On Tuesday, we are visiting Christ Church in Little Heath. We will be discussing and carrying out activities on what we can see inside a church.

Next week is mental health and wellbeing; we will be carrying out various activities along with activities for safer internet day.
