This week we have been doing some exciting learning linked to our Design annd Technology topic - Biscuits. In English we have looked at recipes and how they are structured. We followed a recipe to make our own biscuits and then we have written our own trying to include all the features that we found in our feature search.

In Maths we have done some fantastic dividing, starting with hands on concrete examples and moving onto pictorial and more abstract examples - maybe at home they could show you how to share some things around the house equally.
In our History topic - The Great Fire of London - we have created a timeline of the events back in 1666 and are moving onto look at the differences and similarities between firefighters back then and now.
All the children were very excited to share their news from the weekend about how they celebrated Eid and we look forward to seeing them in their Eid clothes on Friday when it is Eid party afternoon!

This week in Year 5, we have been news reporters on the scene at the tragic fire at Notre-Dame cathedral. The children have immersed themselves and have done a great job at bringing the news to life through roleplaying as interviewers, eye-witnesses and firefighters. Please make sure to ask your children about their learning this week- can they recognise the difference between direct and reported speech? This links to our Geography topic where the children have been learning about the geogrpahical layout of France, we have learnt that France is divided into regions, what these regions are called and known for and about the mountain ranges and rivers which are significant features in the French landscape.
We hope that you enjoyed Class 11's assembly and that they are keeping you aware of the exciting learning we are doing into the story of King Lear.
Next week, we have a really exciting week planned, including our DT work, baking scones, and our Fab Finish for our French topic. Make sure that you are coming into school and not missing out on these experiences.
