Week 2

This week in English, we have been looking at character descriptions and how authors use figurative language to help create engaging and believable characters. We have focused on using accurate punctuation for maximum effect.

We have also started reading our new book, The Lion Behind the Door by Onjali Q. Raúf, and worked on our retrieval, inference, and deduction skills to ensure we understand what we are reading.

I am very impressed with the work produced!


In maths, we have been learning how a whole group of objects can be composed of two or more parts. This can be represented using a part–part–whole 'cherry' diagram. We explored how the whole can be split in many different ways, and how the parts might look different from each other. Each part is smaller than the whole, but when combined, they make up the complete group. The children have demonstrated an excellent understanding. Well done!
