As you know writing is our whole school focus and we are trying really hard to improve our handwriting too!
Callum worked really hard today on his handwriting and we're really pleased with his fabulous presentation.

Fabulous reading!
Today Dylan moved up another stage in his reading and we all are really proud of him.
Dylan tries to read everyday at home.
Dylan's top tips for reading!
* Take your time when you are reading so you sound words out properly.
*Try and pick a book that you're interested in (But you still need to read a range of books)
*Read everyday at home!

Performance Poetry
This week we are still focusing our literacy on Roald Dahl. Yesterday and today we looked at silly poems by Dahl. We then discussed what we liked about the poems and the features they have.
Have a look at our work below.

Writing Week!
Last week was writing week and we focused on Roald Dahl!
We wrote revolting rhymes, Silly stories and Cartoon strips all it was all inspired by Roald Dahl.
On Thursday we went to the Roald Dahl Museum! We had a fabulous time learning about the famous author!
Below are some recounts of our trip. Please feel free to read them.
On Friday we dressed up as Roald Dahl book characters. I went as Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We then wrote character descriptions on the characters we dressed up as.
I give writing week 10/10 !

Nets of 3D shapes
We have been learning to draw nets of 3D shapes and then build them into the actual shape.
To make this work we had to draw it accurately first, and draw our shape with tabs (they help hold the sides together) then carefully cut it out and remember not to cut the tabs off!
We also used Polydron to help us visualise and make our 3D shape.
" I found sticking it together really tricky and would advise others to use tape instead of glue to fix it together" -Dylan.
" I really enjoyed the drawing of the net as we had to draw the shapes exactly right otherwise it wouldn't work!" -Ethan

Nets...in maths!
Today in maths we were making nets of 3D shapes. After we made the shape using Polydron we then carefully opened our shape to reveal the net!
Once we had a net of our 3D shape we got down to drawing them! We had to remember to draw our shapes the same size otherwise it wouldn't fit back together again.
