Dear all,

In English this week we have completed our diary entry, from Stitch Heads perspective. As authors, we made sure we edited, improved and redrafted our diary entries. We have enjoyed our class book, Stitch Head, this half term and are looking forward to the author visiting after the break.

In Maths, we have continued our addition and subtraction unit. This week we solved subtraction calculations and problems that involving the decomposing (borrowing) method. We used the expanded column method and practical resources to support our understanding. We also used inverse operations to help us check our answers. After half term, we will be moving on to our multiplication and division unit.

In RE, we continued our Prayers, Saints and Feasts unit. This week we thought about the importance of silent prayer. We took time to practice this through guided meditation and reflected on our experience.

In Science, we have continued to look at switches within circuits. This week the children made their own switches and drew diagrams to represent their circuits.
