We have been researching the palaeontologist Mary Anning.

This week Malala have been busy completing lots of maths challenges, working in groups we had to prove that 8 X 8 is the same as 4 X 16. We used multilink, base 10 and our white boards to do this.

In History we have been researching the palaeontologist Mary Anning. We found out that she made many incredible discoveries in her life, including a long-necked marine reptile called a plesiosaur and a flying reptile called a Dimorphodon.

In PE we have been looking at tag-rugby. This we week we focused on how to tag members of the opposite team. In addition to building on our previous lesson of learning how to throw the ball backwards and to the side.

In Guided Reading we have read more of our text Thief. We have been focusing on questioning this week and thought about the differences between open and closed questions.

We are all very much looking forward to next week when we have our trip to Little Canada!
