In English, we worked on writing to argue by creating persuasive pieces about why people should come and visit Yatton Keynell. The children worked hard to include expanded noun phrases, subordinating conjunctions, contractions and a range of different sentence types to make their writing more interesting and convincing.

In Maths, we focused on arithmetic and reasoning-style questions. The children practised their calculation skills and also explained their thinking when solving problems.

In Science, we explored the characteristics animals have that help them survive in their habitats. We discussed how different features help animals find food, stay safe and live successfully in their environments.

In Geography, we learnt about how people adapt to living in hot climates. The children thought about clothing, buildings and daily routines, and how these can change depending on the temperature.

We have loved learning our different Easter songs ready for our Easter service in the last week of term. We are excited to perform to you all.

Star of the Week:

Sadie! For consistently showing respect and always being ready to learn. A wonderful role model to her peers.
