Hello everyone,
This week, in writing, the children have written and edited their draft persuasive information texts about whether Vikings deserve the savage reputation that they have. They have worked incredibly hard on them and included all the features required.
In maths, we have been focusing on 7 and 11x table multiplication and division facts, along with reasoning and problem-solving lessons. The children have been working so hard and it’s fantastic to hear the children using great mathematical vocabulary in their explanations and to see the increase in confidence from the entire class.
In guided reading, we have read the next two chapters of our class novel, which the children are really enjoying. We have focused on commentating and sharing opinions about what we like and dislike about the story so far and why that is, along with asking questions and identifying recurring patterns within the story. We have also focused on retrieval and inference skills as well.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou
