In Maths, we have been continuing looking at written method for multiplication. Most of us have mastered multiplying as 4 digit number by a 1 digit number, however, when we multiply them by a TWO digit number, this is where we have found it slightly trickier, Regardless of this, and due to our growth mindsets, we are doing a great job at getting our heads around it. This week we also did a short arithmetic test and I was so pleased with the overall scores from the class!

In English, we have used Walt Disney’s biography to draft a letter of application in response to a job advert from PIXAR. We have had great fun jumping into Disney’s shoes and wooing the head of PIXAR, trying to persuade them to employ us (or should I say Disney!) for the role. We had to pick apart formal letters before we could do any of this, and we used evidence from Disney’s biography to support each bullet point from the person specification.

In History, we have been looking in more depth at the events of ‘The Blitz’. We have used our knowledge to argue for/against the questions ‘Was there a Blitz Spirit?’

This week we have also been drafting Christmas stories, ready to share one cosy evening next week. I think I speak on behalf of the whole class when I say we are all really excited for our residential!
