Then, the Year 3s will move on to write a diary entry from Hogarth's perspective. 

 

Maths 

Year 3s are learning about unit fractions, and non-unit fractions, of a set of objects this week. By the end of the week, they will be moving onto their new unit on money.  Year 4s will be comparing and ordering decimals at the start of the week. 

 

Art

The children will be thinking more carefully this week about what they would like to create for their sculptures. Using nature to inspire us, the children will be creating sculpture that could be used in our new outdoor area. Whether it's going to be a bird's nest, a ladybird or an egg, they will need to consider which materials they would like to use, thinking about sustainability and strength.
