Dear Parents and Carers, 

In maths this week, we dove into the topic of measurement. The children have been introduced to millimetres (mm) and centimetres (cm), and they’ve enjoyed using rulers to measure lines and objects with precision. They’ve also been comparing lengths and learning how to switch between these units—why not challenge them to measure something at home to show off their new skills? 

E.g. What is the length of each object in centimetres and millimetres?

In writing, we wrapped up our unit on myths by editing and improving sentences in the children’s stories. It was amazing to see their creative ideas shine even brighter after revision! We’ve now started a new unit on persuasive writing. The children have each chosen a Greek legacy, such as "the Olympic Games" or "Greek architecture," and we are working on crafting a persuasive piece to convince readers that their chosen legacy is the most important. Their arguments are already shaping up to be very compelling!
