Dina Asher-Smith - Delving into Wuthering Heights

This term, we have delved into the classic novel Wuthering Heights. We focused on the intriguing scene where Mrs. Linton looks into the mirror. We discussed her bizarre reaction and the emotions it evoked. The children wrote their own versions of this scene, imagining how they would feel and react in her place. 

We have started reading Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen. This story follows a young boy named Ade who lives in a tower block, and it explores themes of resilience, community, and mystery. It's been an exciting beginning, and the children are already making thoughtful predictions about what might happen next. 

In maths, the children have been working hard on long multiplication. They've practiced breaking down complex problems into manageable steps, and everyone is getting more confident with their calculations. 

To keep their times tables sharp, the students have been using TT Rockstars. It's fantastic to see so many of them improving their speed and accuracy. 

In computing, we’ve been exploring Scratch and learning how to create different variables. It’s amazing to see the creative projects they are developing.
