As part of you home learning can you use different toys such as lego to make different arrays? 

Here we have 4 lots of 3 (4 x 3)
or 3 lots of 4 (4 x 4)

Our new topic for this term is 'Off With Their Heads' and is all about castles! This week in English we have been learning lots of facts about castles and next week we will be doing some non-fiction writing about the various features of castles. We have also been learning how to spell some trick words- can you remember the mnemonic for castle? (Castles Are So Tall Like Elephants)We have also recapped using commas in a list. As part of your home learning you could visit the library to find some non-fiction books about castles. Can you discover any new facts? These can be written down in your Home Learning Books.

We hope you are able to join us for one of our internet safety sessions. The children have been learning about staying safe online all year and this week have been designing posters to share some important messages.
