Our Learning this week

This week we have looked at various folktales. We focused in particular on 'The Bird King'. Once we had studied this folktale for sometime we then had a go at writing our own folktales in the same style. We focused on suing complex sentences with adverb starters and also making sure we include all the punctuation required when using speech in our writing. The children created some wonderful pieces of writing that they should be very proud of!

In Maths this week the children have focused on division skills. We have focused on how to use a the written method for division so that we can then apply this skill to solving reasoning and problem solving questions. 

Well done to all the children in Kinney for continuing to try your best.
