Happy Friday! We have had a lovely week. This afternoon, we were delighted to welcome Simon Chadwick, who told the children about his career as a cartoonist, author and illustrator. The session ended with a draw-along activity, during which the children created their own original creatures. It was great fun and I was really impressed with the children’s drawing skills!

In English, we have been learning about modal verbs and punctuation for parenthesis. We have used this knowledge in our writing, producing a paragraph based on You Are a Champion by Marcus Rashford. The children focused particularly on their own experiences of managing nerves.

In maths, our work on fractions has continued, with the children adding and subtracting fractions. We have concentrated on ensuring that denominators are the same and converting them where needed. We have also used exchanging to create improper fractions when subtracting.

We hope you all have a great weekend.
