English:  We will be creating typical pantomime characters and settings next week. Please create a new character for a pantomime.

Also remember that the best writers are readers, so get reading.

Numeracy:  Next week we will be doing division using larger numbers, so we will be using the chunking method. Are you still a chunky monkey? Can you remember the rap? Can you write the steps to success for chunking?

Also you will need to know your times tables so if you still have a couple to learn, get them learnt ready for next week.
