Monday 

In Mathematics we revised expanded column addition in preparation for compact column addition next lesson. We all remembered how to do it and Mr Bamber was impressed. Group 4 went out to do some addition with Miss Rigby. We continued our gymnastics work in Phyrical Education, we tried some rhythmic gymnastics, partner work and teddy bear rolls. Miss Rigby taught us Religious Education where we learnt about the Islamic creation story. 

Tuesday 

We all had an amazing assembly with Mrs Bennett, who sang lots of songs. In English we explored the Dragon Slayer, we talked about the structure of the legend story and watched a video about the slayer. In Mathematics it was our first day on compact column addition (with no regrouping), we smashed it! In the afternoon, we made Roman shields and wrote about their importance. A Roman shield is called a scutum. 

Wednesday 

On Wednesday we made gargoyle sketches with Mrs Miller and next week we are creating clay models. We had melons and grapes and they were tasty. In Mathematics we did some more compact column addition (and this time we had regrouping). Sofia particularly enjoyed herself. In English we learnt more about description and used powerful adjectives. Some of us had a silly dance to STEPS and Kylie Minogue. 

Thursday 

In English we learnt about conjunctions and punctuating direct speech. In Mathematics we carried on compact column addition with regrouping. In History we learnt more about the Roman soldiers and the revolt of Boudicca. We also decided that Mr Bamber looked older than Mrs Miller, but Mr Blackburn looks the oldest. 

Friday 

LAST DAY OF THE WEEK! The Merit Certificates went to Jamaar and Emma. In Big Write we wrote a description of our own beast for our legend story. STAR OF THE WEEK was Sophie, she is now sitting on the special CUSHION. We had assembly, where some of us showed homework, and did our spelling test. Mr Bamber tried to eat Max, with ketchup. 

HAVE A SAFE AND FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
