Well done everyone, we are so very nearly there. 

This week we have finished off writing our own stories of a pirates adventure.  We then put ourselves into a pirates shoes or boots,  and thought about what we would do. Where would we go?  What would we eat?  The children practised putting in the correct punctuation, ensuring that they included lots of wonderful description. Describe, describe the noun! We also wrote a message in bottle requesting supplies and help! 

In Maths we looked at money.  The children investigated how much money they could have using 2, 3, 4 or 5 coins.  They could use 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p coins.  They also challenged themselves how to make the same amount, but in three different ways.  Why not have a go at home.   We then moved onto properties of shape, fraction of shape and finally fraction of number.  

In Science we looked at how animals have adapted to live in different settings.  

For Topic  we had our fabulous Pirate WOW day. We found our Pirate name, made treasure maps using paper soaked in coffee.  We enjoyed the aroma as we worked!!!!!   The children then worked out some co-ordinates in maths.  They made hooks and puppets which some used to create a puppet show.  The children learned some pirates songs.   All in all it was a fantabulous, if exhausting, day for all.
