Welcome back!
Children's handwriting is coming on nicely and they have come back with great attitudes to work hard. We're starting programming using Scratch, are going to be embroidering, have recapped the cities in the UK using atlases and have started to look at food groups in Science. We have been using persuasive techniques in our holiday resort advertising in English and are continuing to work on multiplying so any practise on this would be helpful. What a great start to week 1!

We've started to write letters about a fictional trip based on characters from our Journey book.
In maths, we are learning how to multiply using the short method as well as the grid method.

For the next two weeks we are learning all about non-chronological reports and will be researching more about the humble gorilla so we can wow everyone with our new-found knowledge. We have also been improving our skills in netball with Mr Plumber and in skipping with hoops and ropes.

This week, we have discovered what bones are hiding underneath our skin. We are getting quite expert at joining all the bones together in the correct order. In geography, we have been finding out how the physical and human features of countries across Europe differ and have been quite amazed at the sheer size of Russia.

We have been using the present perfect verb tense to express actions that are still taking place in the context of a "journey" letter and in maths, have been learning have to measure using the units of mm, cm and m. We have commenced our sewing designs in the style of Bisa Butler and have been learning all about the geography of Greece.
