We have:

  • Been reading non-fiction texts and practising our summarising skills 
  • Researched  information on a topic and begun writing our own information reports 
  • Worked in small groups during connected learning to create an activity that encourages physical activity  and started presenting these to our classes 
  • Been learning about  2D shapes, 3D objects and their properties 
  • Continued developing our additive thinking skills by using strategies including splitting, compensation and the jump strategy to solve addition and subtraction problems 
  • Started discussing symmetry and transformations 
  • Enjoyed sharing our cultures and learning about others on Harmony Day 
  • Made fond memories of running together in to 2025 Colour Run 

 

Coming up we are:

  • Editing and publishing our information reports 
  • Aiming to finish reading our novel study book ‘Matilda’ 
  • Using all of our comprehension skills to respond to a chapter from Matilda
