Elsewhere, we have been learning:
Literacy
Single Word Spelling Test
Newspaper articles – we investigated the features of a newspaper article and started planning our own article.
We read chapters 8 and 9 of The Secret Garden and wrote a diary entry as if we were Mary.

We started a new topic on money. We looked at money word problems and learnt how to calculate profit and loss. Some of us learnt how to calculate a percentage profit or loss.
We sold all our stocks and worked out if we had made a profit or a loss.

Self portraits for the time capsule
PE – tennis
Enjoy the long weekend everyone!
