Maths

Throughout the week we have started to look at angles. We began by learning about degrees of turn and understanding what it meant to do a full turn, half and quarter. We have focused on the different angle types including acute, obtuse, right and reflex and thought about the properties of each one. This led us onto identifying the different angle types through sight recognition and when told the degree of an angle.

Literacy
This week during literacy lessons we have focused on war poetry, particularly poetry written during and after the First World War. We looked at the author's choice of language, in particular figurative language (smiles, personification, alliteration, metaphors and onomatopoeia) and how this impacts on the reader. Towards the end of the week, we wrote our own poems, concentrating on imagery used within poems and how our language choice would the pictures we are creating in the readers' minds.
