Wow – a short week packed full of learning.

I’m sure you have all heard all about our visit to the science museum – it was amazing. The children learnt so much and really enjoyed their day. I will attach pictures below. I just want to add that all the children were impeccably behaved and very polite and respectful to all staff members.

This week

Maths – In maths we started solving word problems including fractions. (Step 1: Problem solving involving fractions of shape).

English – This week we were looking at formal writing and how to format a letter. The children then formatted their own thank you letter to the Wonderlab and wrote it in best. I will be sending these to the science museum.

Art- Collage. This week we looked at different collage pieces of art and the children planned their collage piece. If you have any materials appropriate for collage, please send them in for the class to use.

RE – This week the children looked at the Christian place of worship. We discussed similarities and differences with the Christian and Muslim place of worship.

History – This week we looked at the technology developments that changed transport during the industrial revolution. The children find it interesting that before the industrial revolution.
