This week in Dorset 5
Week beginning 2nd March 2026
Dear parents and carers,
We have learnt a new piece of grammar this week - passive voice. We have used actions to turn a simple active sentence into a passive sentence. The benefit of using passive voice is to remove the subject (who did the action). We became experts by the end of the lesson, but struggled to actually use it in our own writing! We'll keep practising
In maths we have learnt about tenths, hundredths and thousandths. We are now practising ordering them, remembering to use place holders to compare different numbers.
In science we continued our learning about the human life cycle, comparing children of different ages and finding out what they can do at different ages and stages.
In RE we acted out some different disaster scenes where Jesus 'saved' the situation. The sun was shining so we went onto the field and acted out the scenes.
