Poems, Posters and Parenthesis

This week in English, we read a poem by William Blake – The Tyger – written in 1794.  Inspired by his words, the children wrote poems, in a similar style, about endangered animals.   

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, in addition to the quick revision sheets, we are encouraging children to finish their 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.
