English
We packed our bags and journeyed to the moon in our English lessons this week! We acted out the different things we could do on the moon such as collecting rock samples, hopping around and planting a flag and discussed how we felt at different points in our adventure. We then created a storyboard to show these different events before writing a diary entry for our lunar adventures.
Spelling
This week we have looked at the spelling rule or sounds like er after w. e.g. word, worm, world, worth. We also recapped when ar sounds like or after w e.g. warm, ward, swarm
Maths
Continuing our work on fractions, we have been exploring quarters and thirds this week. We then looked at how to find the whole and used bar models as a way of representing this.
Please use some time in the holidays to make sure you are confident with your number bonds, halves and doubles. Hit the Button is a great game for this!

History
In our history lessons this week, we looked at how the astronauts travelled to and from the moon in 1969 and put these events in order. We then looked at different sources of evidence that showed us what Armstrong and Aldrin actually did whilst they were on the moon.
