This week, in maths, we have been dividing using grouping and a formal method and in English we have planned and written our sensory descriptions based on the book ‘The Day War Came’. For R.E. we have looked at why some Christians go on pilgrimage, creating a leaflet to explain what pilgrimage is, why Christians might go on a pilgrimage and some information about Lourdes, France.
