In Mathematics we revised adding and subtracting numbers with varying decimal places.

In English continued our Pompeii diary entry, focusing on the key grammatical and linguistic features of diary writing (use of adverbials of time, informal language, first person past tense etc.). We then moved on to planning and writing our own diary entry from the perspective of an individual in Pompeii on the day of the explosion.
