Class novel
So, this week, Scrooge had a visit from the ghost of Christmas past and we started to learn a little of Ebenezer's past. Some of us think that his past might have affected the way he is now - miserable. Great inference Oak Class.

This week
This week, we developed our understanding of fractions and began to calculate with them. In English, we have enjoyed watching some of 'Planet Earth' by David Attenborough as inspiration for our biome writing, thinking carefully about our end goals and cohesion. There was much excitement on Thursday as our first group produced a delicious three course meal as part of our 'Come dine with me' project. Well done boys!
