Happy Friday, everyone!

We had a wonderful trip to the British Schools Museum this week! The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in role-play activities and learning all about Victorian school life. One of the highlights was visiting the gallery, where they had the opportunity to practise adding up using shillings and old pennies. Please take a look at the photos below to see some of the highlights from our visit!

























Next week’s learning

English – We our continuing lessons on our book, Dear Earth by Isabel Otter and Clara Anganuzzi. The children will be writing a set of instructions and recording factual information about an animal of their choice.

Maths – We will be practising a range of calculation methods, including finding 10 more and 10 less, adding and subtracting multiples of 10 and adding two 2-digit numbers.
