This week in Cornwall 5

Week beginning 23rd March 2026

Dear parents and carers,

In English this week, we have been looking at the structure of poems. The children created a mind map of everything they know about poetry (stanzas, rhyming, limericks etc) and showed us that they already know a lot! With this in mind, they annotated a river poem and created their own free verse poem from Zoe's perspective about the situation she finds herself in. The children also included expanded noun phrases when writing a setting description and used persuasive language to write a letter to Zoe persuading her to follow their recommended course of action.

In Maths, we have continued looking at perimeter and area. The children have enjoyed challenging themselves with finding as many different ways to draw rectangles with a given perimeter and area. Next week we will be coming to the end of this topic. After Easter, the children will be looking at Statistics.

Next week is our final week in Term 4. Please be reminded that children will be finishing on Wednesday 1st April at 12:15.

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Mrs Nash, Mrs McGinley and Mrs Walker.
