Islam
This week we have been learning all about Islam and especially the mosque. We have learnt lots of things about the mosque; what they look like, what certain features are on the outside and the inside and all the different activities that happen at the mosque.
Explanation texts
Our non-fiction text type for this half term is explanation texts. We are looking at the features of the text type first, before researching more about a certain topic which we will then write our own explanation text on.
Short division
We have been progessing our knowledge of division by learning the bus stop method for dividing 2 digits by 1. Eventually, we will move onto divisions with remainders in the calculation but not in the answer.
What is 69 divided by 3?
Division with remainders
We have been learning how to work out small division questions (15 divided by 4) with remainders in the answer using concrete resources.
