Update for Week beginning :16/07/18

English and Maths information:

In English this week, children will continue writing non-chronological reports on rainforest creatures. We will focus on the layout features and language used to construct factual information texts based on the creatures the children have researched! In maths, children will focus on real life problem solving. They will be using all of their maths’ learning for the year to work together to solve problems with real life contexts!

This week, our attention remains on the FIFA World Cup! Children have been making powerpoint presentations based on their given country and will now learn how to transition slides and add suitable backgrounds. They will then present their presentations to the class!
