English:

This week we wrote a newspaper report on the events leading up to Zoe being reunited with her family. We took on the characters from the text and did some hot seating to see what they would have said. This then helped up with our direct and reported speech. We have thoroughly enjoyed this text and completed a quiz on AR too. We also created a story summary in a creative way.

Maths:

This week we looked at Algebra. We began by looking at sequences, function machines, equations and word problems. We’ve really enjoyed this unit.

Thematic Curriculum:

This week we have been focusing on RE. We’ve looked at Judaism as one of the six world religions and learnt about daily life.
