Welcome to Westminster Bridge Class.
Class teacher: Mrs Ramakrishnan
Teaching assistant: Miss Dale
Thanks to those of you who were able to attend the maths mastery workshop this morning. We really do hope that you found it informative.
We promised we would put the slides up on the blog, however I have just realised that it is unlikely you will be able to access it as it is not a microsoft document.
Please be patient whilst I see if it is possible to convert the file. Failing that, we will send a hard copy home tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks,
Miss Stroud and Miss Brown
Writing
This week we are continuing with our story: Hansel & Gretel.
We will be thinking more in depth about the story answering key questions about the character’s feelings and motivations. We will be writing the story in our own words using story language and adding amazing adjectives to make them creative and interesting.
By the end of the week we will be thinking about the structure of letters, in particular, apology letters as we will be writing letters from Hansel & Gretel after the half term.
