• We looked at the life of Rosa Parks.
• We discussed the meaning of ‘fair’ and ‘unfair’ in relation to Rosa Parks and formed our own opinions.
• We wrote about how Rosa may have felt.
• We had a debate over Mrs Cooper’s new rule;  should girls go to lunch first?
• We wrote letters to Mrs Cooper explaining reasons for our opinions and views.

Maths

• We began to look at multiplication.
• We counted in twos, fives and tens and found multiples of different numbers.
• We found out about the relationship between repeated addition and multiplication.
• We used arrays to multiply.

Topic

• We finished our topic on ‘London’ with an extra special visit from the fire service, who talked all about fire safety.
