This week in English we are going to continue writing our recounts using all the interesting phrases, words that we have been collecting. We will also be looking at collective nouns. A collective noun refers to groups of things or people. For example: a swarm of bees, a crowd of people, a bunch of bananas.

In Maths, we are starting our new topic of 'shape'. We will begin by looking at lines of symmetry and if we can recognise them, moving on to creating our own symmetrical drawings. We will also be describing, naming and sorting 2D and 3D shapes. We will use our knowledge of shapes to sort them using Venn diagrams. 

In Topic this week we will be looking at Ancient Egyptian housing, we will explore all the different features of houses and how these compare to present day houses. We will then try and recreate a house by painting.
