This week we began changing parts of our feature story to create one set in a different place with different characters. We also looked at new vocabulary words to use instead of 'bad' and using conjunctions 'before' and 'after' in different places within the sentence.

Next week, we create our own individual stories based on The Legend of the Wawel Dinosaur. We will plan it out with our own characters and settings..

Math
|
In Maths we used the grid method to multiply 3-digit by single-digit numbers and introduce the vertical algorithm; begin to estimate products; divide numbers (up to 2 digits) by single-digit numbers with no remainder, then with a remainder.
|
In Maths we will go over what we have learned so far through the term to get ready for our end of term review.
