As well as writing about our special place for our piece of artwork, we have also been making predictions about our class text. Having read chapters one and two of The Boy Who Grew Dragons, we then had discussions with our talk partners as to what could happen next in the text. The children came up with some fantastic ideas which they enjoyed sharing with the rest of the class. They are all very intrigued as to what will actually happen next. Watch this space!

This Week in Maths: 2D and 3D Shape

The children have been learning about shapes and their properties. At the end of last week, we focused on the properties of 2D shapes. This week, we have looked closely at 3D shapes. We thought of clues for our friends to guess the shapes we were thinking of.

We have also been learning how to arrange objects in patterns and sequences, as shown below.

We have been activating our prior knowledge about the Pentecost. The children were able to complete the following activity by drawing on their knowledge from previous lessons.

Reading - Please read every night. Answer a selection of questions about the thoughts, feelings and actions of any of the characters in your reading book.

Spellings - Please find this weeks spellings below and a link to spelling frame. Our spelling quiz will be on Thursday 10th July.

Choose five or more spellings and write a sentence for each of the words. Remember to think it, say, write it and then check for full stops and capital letters.
