W/C 3rd January 2022

Hello and welcome back. We hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Maths
​This week we have been using our times tables knowledge and working on multiples and factors. We have applied techniques to reasoning questions and been working on our verbal explanations to explain our understanding.

Literacy
During our writing lessons, we have focussed on the features of poetry, in particular similes, personification, alliteration, metaphors and onomatopoeia (SPAMO). We used 'Beyond the Lines' as our hook for learning and have generated examples of SPAMO based on this video. Within our reading lessons, we began Michael Morpurgo's book, 'Private Peaceful'. We have been introduced to the main characters and been able to use inference skills to explain our thoughts about some of the characters in particular, using evidence to support our ideas.
