Our week in Tim Peak!
This week we have been finding out about what Britain was like before Roman Britain. Did you know that in the Iron Age the Celts lived in round houses. These were made from mud and straw.
In maths, we have become experts at 3-digit numbers and are able to represent them using base 10.
In English, we have been learning our warning tale ‘Keep of the Tracks’ and have started to practice using fronted adverbials. Did you know that fronted adverbials are used when describing a setting to add more detail for the reader? It paints a better picture in their head!
