Welcome
Our focus in Maths this week is on finding properties of shapes - area, perimeter and volume. In English, we are working on Newspaper writing as we write fictitious (or real, if you prefer) news stories from school. To help you, we've provided links to a few news articles about the school, from The Chad. There's also some transition activities to complete across the week, which are available below along with our spellings.
