This week Blue Class have been learning:

English

• We looked at the features of a diary and why they are used.
• We wrote diary entries as Samuel Pepys.
• We wrote about what he would have seen and felt before the fire, during the fire and after the fire had been extinguished.
• We practised our reading comprehension skills.

Maths

• We solved reasoning problems involving subtraction.
• We used our mental maths skills and drawings to help us add and subtract two digit numbers.

Topic

• We found out about Samuel Pepys and why he was important.
• Using Laura Jordan as inspiration, we drew our landmark sketches on polystyrene tiles, before printing them to create different effects.
• We practised learning different rhythms in music with Ms Caperon.
