Let all that you do be done in Love
1 Corinthians 16:14
This half term we will be exploring the question:
English
In our English, this half term we have started a new book called Pax. We have used the story to discuss our likes and dislikes about the parts of the story that we have read so far alongside any connections with other stories, books or films we know. We have performed some freeze frames and thought tracking to get into the mindset of the characters to infer how they might be feeling.

We have used this freeze frame and thought tracking to draft a letter to Peter's father about how we feel about being left at his grandfather's house as he goes to war. We used a lot of emotive language in these pieces of writing.
We have also used a graph of emotion to discuss how Peter would be feeling at different parts in the story and used story mapping to help us remember the story.
Maths
In maths, we have continued on our work on fractions, percentages and decimals. We have been learning how they are all linked, how to round to the nearest whole number and to 1 decimal point alongside finding out how to find a percentage of an amount.
Learning Challenge
In our learning challenge this half term, we have been continuing our learning from before Christmas on biomes and climates. Our focus this half term has been on rain forests. We have created a double page spread researching rain forests and have found a number of facts about them. We have also learnt about the different layers of a rain forest and created a fact file on our favourite animal from the rainforest. We are looking forward to using all that we have learnt in our learning showcase.
