Weekly update 6.6

It has been a good start back after half term with the children working with decimal numbers in maths. Over the next couple of weeks they will be learning to add, subtract and multiply decimal numbers and well as sequence decimal numbers with different numbers of decimal places. In English we have started to work through our new book, Flotsam, which has led to lots of fantastic discussion. It is a wordless book with mysterious pictures that the children have been using to explain what they can observe, what they wonder and what they can infer from different pictures of characters and underwater settings. In PE we are now doing rounders and tennis until the end of the year.
