Over the next 2 weeks our work is based on a Talk for Writing Unit that has been written for Lockdown. It follows  a very similar build up to writing that we do in school: looking at an example and analysing a type of writing; incorporating the grammar work that is needed for the final piece.; practising the sentence structures to embed the patterns; planning the writing; writing the final piece; and editing it 

Read the introduction to the work  booklet and I have put a heading with a date at the top of the page  to show what work is assigned for each day.

Hello everyone! This week we are learning about perimeter, area and volume. If you find the last couple of questions on the worksheets tricky, don’t worry.
