Blog Update 15th December

It has been hard work all the way this week, trying to finish units of work but everyone should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved. The stories that have been written using ‘The Snow Leopard’ by Jackie Morris are really wonderful and fully show off the fantastic imaginations that the children have.
Next term our English is going to be centred around the novel ‘Smith’ by Leon Garfield. There is a cliff hanger at the end of every chapter so I really hope that you all enjoy the novel. The writing foci will be a news report, an advertisement and an information text (all regarding some unusual events and characters). I shall say no more so as to avoid spoilers.
In Maths, we shall be following on from our work on fractions to link to decimals and percentages. This shall be followed by a unit on perimeter, area and volume.
Science is moving on to a unit on magnetism.
I have copied some photos below of the lovely candle dipping and wreath making that we have done this past week. It has definitely produced some treasures to bring out each Christmas.
Do try to keep the reading and times tables practice going over the holidays but Happy Christmas to you all.
