Maths has been quite a challenge this week as we have been calculating durations of time using both analogue and digital times. Ethan said that he really enjoyed this learning and we discovered how we will need to use this learning in real life as we get older.

In Spanish we have been recapping the days and months so that we can learn to write the date in Spanish. We used calendars around the classroom to practise writing the dates of important events.

Our Learning Means the World lessons this week have been learning all about animal types, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish. We explored the features of each group and used flow charts to classify them.

As we continue our work on 'Arthur and the Golden Rope', we have been learning to write in the first person. We will be using this skill later on in the term when we write our final adventure story.

In RE, we have started to learn about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We began by learning the story of Rama and Sita. Next week we will be looking at some of the ways that Diwali is celebrated.
