This week we have started to think about choosing exciting vocabulary to set the scene for a narrative using a video about a boy and a dog as inspiration.

Maths - We are now bringing together all our Maths learning before SATS.  We have been looking at questions around fractions and using Learning By Questions to tailor Maths learning to the individual children.
