Art week




Literacy - this week we have written biogrpahies about famous people. Some of the people we have written about are William Shakespeare, Florence Nightingale, Anne Frank, Wayne Rooney and Martin Luther King. They are very good and hopefully our parents can read them soon.

Numeracy - we have been doing work on Data Handling this week. We looked at pie charts and drew some. The questions we had to answer were tricky but we managed to do them. We have also done some work on Mean, Median, Mode and Range.

Topic - This week in our topic we have been doing Art. We listened to The Planets by Gustav Holst and used the images we imagined to draw pictures. We also drew pastel pictures of Planet Landscapes and worked in groups to make collages of the planets.

Next week we will be doing Poetry in literacy, more data handling and learning more about the planets in our topic.
