​In English we have started to look at an adventure narrative. Over the next fortnight we will be acting out freeze frames from the story and planning our own narratives following the same structure. Particular focus will be on how the pupils can summarise the key points of the original story to be able to create and adapt their own using the figurative language devices applied. In Maths we have moved on to place value and will eventually transition into the concept of decimals. So far, their only experience with decimals is through money, therefore the children have shown a particular interest in understanding place value to the right of the decimal point. In science we have been looking at states of matter. The children really enjoyed the lesson thinking about how the atoms are arranged in different materials and had the opportunity to physically act as states of matter to further understand the arrangement.
