In our science and literacy lessons this week we have been learning about LIFE CYCLES and how they can be shown in flow diagrams. This fantastic work by Mai and Alaa shows the life cycle of a butterfly and a frog. They remembered to use arrows and have written explanation captions giving extra information. Well done girls!!

WELL DONE SUPER SPELLERS!!!

We have had a new class record today with an amazing 23 children managing to spell all 10 words correctly. It is so good to see so many children making a fantastic effort and practising at home using their Look, cover, write, check books.

Next week's test is the SAT's spelling test so fingers crossed for more good news!

This week in our maths lesson we have been looking at halves and quarters. We have learnt that when we fold a shape in half, then fold it in half again we get a quarter.


There are 2 halves in a whole shape and 4 quarters in a whole shape.


This work by Iftikar and Brigida records the shapes that they investigated that could be folded into quarters.

Welcome Naila!!!

We are all very excited to have a new girl in the class. She started school on Tuesday and already has hundreds of friends.

In history this half term we are learning all about the Great Fire of London. This happened in 1666 and began in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane.

Mai and Alaa have done some amazing writing about two children called Tom and Elizabeth who were in London when the fire started. They have both remembered all the things we have been learning in literacy to improve our writing. Click on the work to make them larger
