Our learning this week…
In English, we have been using a range of ‘sensational language’ to improve our writing to make it more interesting to grab the attention of the reader. We had some fantastic ideas!
In Maths, we have been developing our knowledge of adding and subtracting fractions. We have also completed our ‘Times Tables’ competition - well done to everyone for trying so hard.
In History, we have been following up our class trip on Thursday, by researching life in an Anglo-Saxon Village. We have been particularly focusing on foraging, thatching, weaving and the use of armour to defend. The children produced information posters to present their findings and to share their memories of our school trip to Martin Mere Wetland.
Here are some pictures of our class trip, we had a fantastic day, (despite the weather!) and we found out a lot more about what life would have been like in Anglo-Saxon Britain…
