On Wednesday we shall be having a pirate party, your child can dress as pirates or something in stripy ( no swords please) . If you are feeling really adventurous you could design a pirate tee shirt.

In Maths the children will be revisiting methods for solving subtractions and will be calculating change. For example, I have a 10p coin. I spend 6p. How much change will I get? What could the coins be?
In English we are thinking about our time in Year 1. We will be writing about what we would do if we were Prime Minister for a day, and making a fact sheet about a mammal.
