We enjoyed celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee in the sunshine today! We have been working hard on our show but need to be practising the songs to get them word perfect.
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.
Maths
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.
Other areas
Jubilee celebrations
Show practice
Self portraits for the time capsule
PE – tennis
Enjoy the long weekend everyone!
