This week

Thursday pm - Year 4 and 5 Theatre trip to see 'The Boy in the Back of the Class'. Children will need to wear school uniform. The performance starts at 2pm and is approximately 2hrs long so we will be returning to school later than normal. We will keep you updated on the day.

Literacy in Maple Class

We will begin this week by asking questions to improve our understanding of the text so far. What questions could Finn (our main character) be asking at different points of the story? We will be looking closely at the character of the golden fish and, using expanded noun phrases, we will be describing the golden fish. 

Literacy in Ash Class

This week, we will read as much of the book as we can before we go to the theatre. We will study different characters points of view and revisit how to punctuate speech correctly.
