In literacy, children have been retelling the story of Ug through acting. In pairs, children were given a section of the story and turned this into a play script. They then performed to the class. All of the class did a fantastic job and retelling their section and all used fantastic intonation and expression. Both me and Mrs Mosey enjoyed watching all performances.

Over the week, children have been looking at how to use the short method to divide. Today, children applied their knowledge of this to create their own bingo game. Children worked well together and enjoyed creating their own game. They applied their previous knowledge and used this to check their answers to the questions were correct.

In guided reading this half term, children had a fairy tale week, looking and the different features used. As part of this, we summarised and created freeze frames of the key events in Jack and the Beanstalk. Children participated fantastically in group discussion and showed the key events which occurred

In maths, we have been looking at division of 2 and 3 digit numbers. We have used our place value knowledge and the equipment to make groups of hundreds, tens and ones. Showing the class visually improved their understanding of dividing and sharing
