Cheetahs' have had a fantastic start to the week with every child getting to at least 'keep it up' on Wednesday!
In English, we have started our new topic, looking at a book and film narrative called 'Varmints'

The children watched the first 6 minutes of the video, focusing on how the setting changed, before writing contrasting setting descriptions.
Grace blew us away with her beautiful, descriptive writing...
Before
The birds' song gently drifted down from the aqua sky, carried by a calm breeze.  The world was peaceful, safe and open.  There was emerald grass swaying and a beautiful pea-like green tree.  Everything was tranquil and still.  Nothing was tense.
After
Soon the loving world was swamped in a deep sea of concrete.  It had become a dismal, lifeless place, with tall, looming tower blocks sending shadows of gloom and tears across the stormy, black world, full of danger.  It felt like a ghost town.  Everything was almost deserted except the immense amount of buildings.

WOW!

In Maths this week, we have focused on our multiplication skills.  We looked at the grid method as a way of multiplying 1 digit by 2 digit, 1 digit by 3 digit and even 2 digit by 2 digit.  It was really important to set our work out neatly following
the success criteria.  Mellissa worked extremely hard to do this...

















Some of the children focused on solving multiplication problems using arrays and repeated addition...

Super work Ethan!


This is our wonderful book corner!
