This week in English, we planned our own short stories set in Wickhambreaux village. The children thought about setting, characters, problems and solutions, using story maps to organise their ideas ready for writing next week.

In maths, we focused on calculating change, understanding that finding change is really about finding the difference between the cost and the amount paid. We practised practical money problems and used different strategies to help us work accurately.

In art, we finished our watercolour paintings of buildings in the village, adding detail to complete our final pieces. You can see some of these in the photo gallery below.

In R.E., we explored different artist interpretations of Pentecost before creating our own freeze frames to represent key moments from the story.

In history, we applied our knowledge of castle features by creating our own battle plans for attacking Canterbury Castle, thinking carefully about strategy and defence.

In science, we dissected plants to identify and explore their different parts more closely.
