In English, we started the week practising the skill of ‘Show, don’t tell’ to describe the feelings of a character. We continued on with a focus on the variety of punctuation needed when writing speech and ended the week by writing an extract of a story with a balance of both dialogue and description. This will all come in handy when we write our stories in the coming weeks. Next week, we will begin to plan our stories by creating characters and settings.
In maths this week, we have worked on equivalence. Recognising the common fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents such as 1/2 , ¼, ¾ and practising methods for working out other more challenging amounts. Next week, we will revise percentages and multiplication.
We have managed to start work on a piece of work all about the biomes of South America. Linking with the fascinating research that the children presented for their homework, we have started looking at diverse range of biomes that span this incredible continent.
