This week in English, we have started to write elements of our adventure stories, including character and setting descriptions. In spelling, we have been looking at the suffixes, -ly and -ally and recapping the suffixes we have learnt about so far.

Next week in English, we will be continuing to write our stories based on Arthur and the Golden Rope. We will be focusing on using dialogue and speech punctuation correctly. In spelling, we will be continuing to explore further suffixes.

This week in Maths, we have been learning how to find the perimeter of shapes, we have been applying this knowledge to shapes which have missing sides, to find the total amounts.

Next week in Maths, we will be learning about parallel and perpendicular lines. We will be using flags to find parallel and perpendicular lines. We will then be learn how to focus on using the correct mathematical vocabulary to describe the properties of shapes. We will be learning about quadrilaterals, and how to recognise each one using their properties before moving on to drawing the quadrilaterals.

In PSHE this week, we had a P4C discussion, following on from a video shown in assembly on fairness and unfairness. We discussed the difference between 'want' and 'need' and how this will look in a classroom. We discussed that whilst we may see things as unfair, that actually some children need different support to help them with their learning. When we 'want' something, we may not always 'need' it.
