Writing

We have moved onto a new piece of writing which will be based on a picture book called Tuesday by David Weisner. Have a look at the paper frogs we made. Did you know that they each have their own super power?

Our end goal is to write a police report based on the story.

Reading

We have chosen to change our class read. We are now reading Aristotle by Dick-King-Smith. It is a story about a cat who gets himself into all kinds of trouble.

Maths

We are now looking at measurement including mass, capacity and temperature.
