From "Wed Wabbit" to prime numbers...
This week we finished the truly excellent and spectacular “Beetle Boy,” by M.G Leonard and we have started our next class text, the fabulously titled “Wed Wabbit.” We have studied how authors bring characters to life through dialogue and description, and we are now able to do the same in our own writing. In Maths, we have been looking at factors, multiples and prime numbers.
We’ve played games, completed investigations and had a lot of fun doing them. Our P.E lessons have been really enjoyable – we’ve been incorporating ball mastery skills with gymnastics to create some really cool routines. Below are some of the top books around at the moment that we are hoping we might unwrap on Christmas day…
