Check out the photos we have uploaded to see the fantastic mental maths we have been doing - A game of hand up, stand up, pair up for our Mental Maths questions - reading the cards to our partners then swapping cards after having a go at the answer. We are have been practising the 2,5 and 10 times tables. Some people are even on to the 3's!

We are focusing on reading and number skills this term - looking at all four operations in maths and problem solving with them too as well as learning the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. 

In English, we have been reading stories by the author Simon Bartram. He is a popular author who has written stories like Man on the Moon. We have made two fantastic displays showing off our work and have enjoyed learning all about an author and what they do. You can find out more about Simon Bartram by visiting his website:
