In Maths this half term we have been thinking hard about multiples, factors, prime numbers, and square and cube numbers. We've found Venn diagrams useful, as well as counters (for making arrays), multilink (making cubes), and hundred squares. We've also been getting better and better at our times tables, which has helped a lot - with record numbers of children moving up a level in Cracking Times Tables.
In English we have begun planning and writing our own eyewitness accounts, some about firework night. Try testing your child on their first, second and third person identification - eyewitness accounts often use all three!
