Our learning this week…
In English, we have been continuing to explore our class text ‘ The Lost Happy Endings’ by Carol Ann Duffy. This week, we focused on the use of description in the text and the use of the possessive apostrophe. The children worked hard to use possessive apostrophes within their own sentences, exploring the differences of singular and plural.
In Maths we have been continuing to build our knowledge of decimals. This week we explored the meaning of hundredths and we focused on ways to represent whole numbers and fractions as decimals. We used ten frames and place value grids to support our understanding further.
In RE this week we have been researching the life and work of St Peter, considering how he had a crucial role in the early church and how his story might inspire Christians in their own lives’.
