In English, they have begun working on a newspaper article. They began looking at a selection of First News newspapers and identifying the main features of a news article. Then they had a go at identifying the five Ws (who? what? why? where? and when?) from a range of reports. They will write their own reports next week.

In humanities, the children found out about some of the key gods and goddesses in Hinduism and they learned about the festival of Holi.

 

Maths saw the introduction of area and perimeter and the children have been practising finding both on various rectangles. Form 4 enjoyed a lovely outdoor art lesson in the sunshine.
