It has been another busy week in Caterpillar class!

In English we have been very busy writing our own versions of Little Red Riding Hood, by creating a new character for the story. We have looked at character traits and adjectives of the existing characters to help us come up with our new fantastic versions.


In maths this week we have been looking at place value and finding different ways to partition numbers. We have used equipment to help us with number sentences and have been looking at where numbers go on a number line.






We have also have an interesting week continuing to look at Lord Nelson.We have looked at different food groups and the benefits of eating the right amount from each food group and how many sailors suffered from illnesses due to the lack of balanced diets. we tried out different exercises sailors could do on board ship to keep healthy while monitoring our body and heart rate.
