Persuasion, Parentheses and Practice

This week in English, we have been researching endangered species and put this work to good use by writing persuasive speeches about the plight of these animals and what we humans can do to help.  We made an effort to include persuasive language, parentheses and question tags.  

We continued with our maths revision work books this week, working hard to practise key skills and everyone seems to be doing well and building their confidence across the maths topics. 

In RE, following on from our interesting discussions about world views, we learnt about some different humanist thinkers and their key ideas.  This links to our science topic about evolution in which we will be learning lots more about Charles Darwin. 

For homework, we are encouraging children to make their own revision posters, with a focus on SPAG this week.  

Enjoy the long weekend and see you on Tuesday for the last push before SATs week.
