We continued to work on our descriptive skills this week for writing. We created a paragraph about our favourite place. We learned about how using effective openers can improve our writing.
We also continued working on the skills of taking notes, we have been researching and learning about Black history month, this week we looked at the importance of Rosa Parks. We took notes from a piece of reading and a video. From our notes we created an information poster to show our understanding.
Ideas for home learning
Research further about Black history month and find out about important people who helped contribute to or change society.

We have been learning more about shape and worked on calculating the area of a flat shape. We used the formula Length x Breadth = Area. We spoke about how useful this measurement is for life outside school.
Ideas for home learning
Work on finding the area of a right angle triangle by halving the formula above. We started this so you could work on it.
Have a fantastic holiday week
