Maths

During our lessons this week, we have worked on finding the area of a shape. We know that to calculate the area of a rectangle we need to multiply the length of the shape by its width. We worked on finding the area of regular rectangles and then were given an area and had to find out all the possible dimensions of the rectangle. Next week, we will be focusing on finding the area of compound rectilinear shapes.

Literacy

This week, we have began a new unit - poetry. We have looked at a range of poems and found the similarities and differences. We  identified many features including similes, personification, alliteration, metaphors and onomatopoeia and began generating our own examples of these features. Next week, we will be writing our own poems linked to the war.
