After serious internet problems this week, we are up and running again.

This week we celebrated WORLD BOOK DAY with Nick Sharratt Save the Children, together with Beanstalk are very aware that not being able to read handicaps children’s progress and have launched a campaign and programme called Born to Read for children who are struggling. This is a big task and so they have asked if 100 Word Challenge can join in the campaign to ‘Change the Story’ for children. The prompt this week is to chose your favourite fairy story and rewrite it in 100 words changing the ending. Don't forget to comment on our Quadblogging partners' blogs - because next week they will come to us! Here are some examples: 
We have been learning about the Highwayman Poem by Alfred Noyes.
We discussed what makes a good poetry performance and here it is: It might be useful for tomorrow's Big Writing, where we will retell the story. Today's learning objective in Numeracy was to explain solutions to area and perimeter problems. For some of us, it was the first attempt using Show Me, where we can make a 'Podcast' of our learning. Watch them below! They show good understanding that the perimeter is the outside ("You have to measure each side, each side, add 'em up!") and the area is the inside ("Length x Width is the area!"). So far, I've spotted 1 mistake (maybe it was deliberate?) - Can you find it? Also, 2 are silent - can you follow the pen marks for an explanation? Curtis' George Stephenson rainhill trails We are packed and ready to go. After that, we have the final challenge activity. See you all soon...
