Our English lessons this term have been inspired by three fantastic texts: Tuesday by David Wiesner, Weslandia by Paul Fleischman and The Dark by Lemony Snicket. The children explored the mysterious, wordless world of Tuesday and used it to write their own imaginative narrative of events, changing the frogs to other animals. They then stepped into the shadows with The Dark, thinking carefully about the conversations they might have if they were brave enough to speak to the dark itself. Finally, after reading Weslandia, the class designed their own unique ‘Weslandias’, creating detailed worlds filled with inventive plants, foods and customs. 

In Maths, we have been developing a wide range of time‑related skills, including reading Roman numerals to 12 and telling the time to the nearest five minutes and then to the exact minute. We learnt to read digital clocks, use am and pm correctly and explored larger units of time, including years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. 

We finished our Maths learning on statistics, where we learnt how to make tally charts, create and interpret tables, draw and understand block diagrams, pictograms and bar charts, and finally collect and represent our own data.
