Good afternoon all, it has been a busy but fun week back!

In English the children role played the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff‘ using recurring language, we also discussed the punctuation in the story. They created a detailed storyboard and sequenced the story.

Next week, the children will start to write their own version of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. They will change the characters and recurring language along with including commas and exclamation marks. We will also discuss speech marks to use in their recurring sentences.

In maths, the children learnt pictograms, tally charts, block graphs, tables and comparing amounts. The children discussed the graphs in detail and answered questions to consolidate their learning.

Next week, the children will be applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods by using place value and number facts to solve problems with addition and subtraction.

In history we started our new topic on ‘The Great Fire of London’ and the children are really enjoying learning about London and when are where is started.

Next week, the children will be learning the events of the Great Fire of London.

In science, we looked at life cycles and discussed how animals and humans change as they grow.

Next week, the children will describe and draw pictures of the process.

In art, the children designed their fruit kebab.
