Learning Update

In Literacy, we have started reading The Wind in the Wall. It is a creepy, gothic tale about an ambitious duke who is obsessed with growing the finest pineapple! So far, we have written diary entries, formal letters and scenes of dialogue.

In Maths, we have completed maths-based challenges such as making patterns and collecting and presenting data.

In History, we have continued our latest unit, Britain at War. We have looked at the reasons why soldiers volunteered to fight. We have also explored the different causes of the start of World War I.

In PE, we have continued athletics. We have focused on pacing ourselves in longer races.

In French, we have continued to learn how to discuss World War II.

In Music, we have explored World War II propaganda songs.

In Computing, we have been learning about Google Sheets. We have created lessons on a topic of our choice for our classmates.
