English

In English today, I am going to give you a bit of free choice so I can see what you can do. We have been learning about non-chronological reports and you are getting very good at them.

You are going to pick a topic of your choice, it could be an animal, it could be a movie or it could be your favourite character. You are going to write your own non-chronological report. Remember, it needs:

  • a title
  • subheadings
  • captions
  • factual information
  • an introduction, middle section and ending

Today is your chance to show off and show me what you can do. Use lots of different skills and try and make your writing fantastic! Finally, make sure you use your neatest handwriting.

Maths

Please start your Maths lesson today by completing the Maths Meeting below.

In Maths today, we are going to continue with column subtraction but today we are going to look at regrouping – it is going to get a little bit harder. Watch the video below to help you.
