Spring 2 – Week 4

Stars of the week: Annabella and James

In English this week we have been exploring non-chronological reports. To start the writing process we read non-fiction books and highlighted the key features. This created our success criteria for writing our own. We have written them about Japan, which is our humanities topic this half-term.

In Maths we have continued our learning about fractions. You can enjoy this groovy song at home to help cement the learning:

Well done Class 2 on a brilliant first week back. You were amazing on our trip to The Monument. You took care whilst climbing the 311 steps to the top and were so brave. We learnt some extra facts about the Great Fire of London and saw the spectacular skyline of London. When we got back to class you wrote brilliant diaries, as if you were a child during the fire in 1666. You included so much detail and really thought carefully about how you were feeling.
