This term has been very busy.<\/p>\n

Maths
\n<\/strong><\/span>Earlier in the term we tried working out a missing value in a sum which was represented by a letter. We moved on to subtractions, division and multiplication problems. To make this relevant to our learning, we moved on to measurement. We then saw examples of when a measurement may be labelled as a letter rather than a number.
\nWe have since been exploring ways to solve a missing length when working with perimeter. Some of us have also been working on compound shapes and how to break a shape up into more manageable shapes so as to work out the area.
\nWe have been continuing practising our division skills in mental maths and how to compensate.<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe have been writing narratives of an expedition, recounts of a child working in Victorian times and persuading on behalf of Dr. Barnardo to get education for all. We started our class novel “Holes” for us to apply our Reflective Reading strategies where we have mostly focused on metacognition and inference. After Easter we will continue our novel where we will use our visualisation and meta linguistic skills. On Friday 24th March we walked to Blackwells Book shop\u00a0to collect our free World Book Day book. These are all Accelerated Reader Books and some of us have enjoyed finishing the book and completing\u00a0a quiz already.<\/p>\n
