In English this week,  we have recorded our radio broadcasts in pairs. We have started to examine The Graveyard Book closely using evidence from the text to create a character profile. From this, we are beginning to plan and write a short narrative giving a character from the story a backstory involving witches. 

As part of our computing topic we have learnt all about the history of computers. We have researched and distilled information about a range of computers including the Colossus, Apple Macintosh and IBM PC. Using this information, we then used an online programme to create an infographic timeline targeted at informing Year 5 pupils about the main developments in computers across the decades. 

Next week we will be; 

• Watching the Polka Theatre’s version of Romeo and Juliet

• Converting decimals, fractions and percentages 

• Examining how animals and plants have evolved to survive in harsh climates
