May and June

Numeracy and Maths

We have been learning about co -ordinates especially how to solve problems involving them. We then designed and made our own games based on co-ordinates.

Literacy

We have been reading, acting and writing playscripts. We have read a version of Macbeth and especially enjoyed the witches' prophesises- 'Double, double toil and trouble.'

' We watched a video  clips of Macbeth based on history of Scotland. Macbeth was a fighter for his cousin king Duncan. On his way back to the camp with Banquo they saw 3 witches. Witch 1  said' All Hail Macbeth, Thane of Glamis' . The 2nd witch said 'All Hail Macbeth, Thane of Cawdor' The 3rd witch said' All hail the next King, Macbeth' 

My favourite part was when Macduff finally killed Macbeth! by Zizi

STEM

We went on a great school trip to 5 Sisters Zoo. We learnt about animal conservation and made sustainable animal enclosures.
