4. Week Beginning 25th January

This week, we will continue reading the Iron Man and will be writing our own plays. We will continue our R.E. work on pilgrimages and will be learning about the Rain Hill Trials and the history of trains in the country. Our focus in Maths this week will be Area.

All of the learning for the week is on the website as usual. We will be trialling some small activities on google classrooms. These are designed to help the children practise all the google classroom skills they might need. We would recommend trying the google classroom challenges but if you cannot complete them please do not worry. There will be a chance to share your opinion with a survey at the end of the week.

Everything will be explained further on the Monday morning zoom.
