Well done for a fantastic week of work. We have been solving crimes in our Science lessons with Mr and Mrs Bowles, solving a light investigation, as well as collecting lots of house points for our houses, writing fantastic persuasive non-fiction books with Miss Dekker and we also created some fantastic artwork for the school to celebrate Roald Dahl's 100th birthday. At lunch time we had a lego club under the trees in our field; this is what we made.

Friday 16^th September

Maths- This week we have been learning the value of numbers with decimals. We have ordered them, rounded them and multiply and divided them. Have a go at either of these brilliant websites to practice more at home. We will be using our active learn accounts again soon, but they need a little bit of administrative work to sort out our new classes at the moment.

Decimals - 10-11 year olds - Topmarks  (ordering decimals)

Decimal Math Games - Math Play (rounding decimals to the nearest tenth, hundredth, thousandth)

English- This week it has been Roald Dahl’s birthday. We celebrated his birthday by talking about characters in his books and created some lovely art work. This week I would like you to write a book review for your favourite Roald Dahl book. Think about writing in paragraphs, using your best handwriting and including as much detail as possible. You could write about what is happening in the story, favourite part, favourite character and who do you think would enjoy the book the most. A book review is similar to your persuasion writing you have been doing this week. You can use the same techniques to persuade people to read your favourite book. (Adjectives, in my opinion, I believe, I am certain you will strongly agree.)
