Maths
This week we have focussed on the written method for column subtraction. We began by subtracting two numbers with the same amount of digits, before subtracting two numbers with a different amount of digits and decimals. We have applied our knowledge to reasoning questions such as explaining the mistakes of others and identifying missing digits.

Literacy
We have continued to read Dracula this week and have focussed on our fluency by reading the same piece of text for several days. We have worked on the vocabulary within the text and our retrieval skills, using the scanning technique to find our answers. Within our writing lessons, we have unpicked the features of newspaper reports and begun to work on the specific features used within this genre of text, such as the use of brackets for parenthesis.
