How do you like being at the Seaside? We hope you are all having fun learning about our new topic.
In Literacy we have learnt how to write instructions using bossy verbs. You have done really well with this and have enjoyed writing instructions about CPR and how to catch a seagull.
In Numeracy we have been working hard on our calculation methods. Can you use partitioning to add and subtract? How are you getting on with using arrays to multiply numbers?
In our topic we have learnt about Grace Darling and her brave rescue. You have written some excellent newspaper articles about her adventure - Well done! We have also learnt about floating and sinking. I was so impressed with your knowledge of floating and sinking and how well you remembered the facts we learnt.
After the half term holiday we will be looking at the history of the seaside so if you visit any seaside resorts over half term then please can you take some pictures for our displays.
Have a lovely half term
