In English we have been learning about haiku’s and kennings and we have been thinking about the structure of these poems. Using the ideas in the Firework Maker’s Daughter, we have written and improved our own poems. Next week we will begin to look at persuasive writing.
In Maths we have been looking at column addition and subtraction. We started off revising the expanded method and then moved on to the compact method. Please continue to practise times tables at home.
