This week in Maths the children have been looking at fractions. They have discussed what the numerator and denominator are and how it links to parts and whole.

English - The children read some more of their power of reading book (Why the whales came?) and have been debating why the father should / should not join the Navy. The children have started to write a persuasive letter to the father trying to convince him either way. They have used some fantastic sentences starters and powerful adjectives. 

Art - After studying the artist J Vincent Scarpace the children this week made their own clay fish. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all, and they look fantastic!

Global learning - As part of our Global learning topic the children debated whether whaling should continue or not. They looked at why people whale and what the whale is used for.

Spellings - build, describe, library, imagine, promise, ordinary, weight, suppose, recent, natural
