English: We have been focusing on SPAG this week.

The Year 2 children have revised capital letters and full stops, remembering to only include them in the middle of a sentence when it is for the name of a person or place or ‘I’.

The Year 3 children have continued to focus on adverbs. They have expanded their vocabulary by finding adverbs which mean the same thing. They have practised using these within their sentences.

We ended the week with an independent writing activity where the children had to imagine they were Carl from the film ‘Up’, looking for someone to go on an adventure with him. They wrote a job advert for an explorer linked to this.

Maths: We have continued our work on place value with the Year 2 children working with two digit numbers and the Year 3 children working with three digit numbers. We have been comparing numbers when they are represented in different ways using the greater than, less than and equals symbols. We have also practised putting numbers in order from smallest to largest/largest to smallest and have completed some problem solving activities.

Science: This week we went on a walk around Bicton Village to see how materials are being used in everyday life – see earlier post in week for photos.

History: We have continued to learn about some famous explorers and have identified on a world map some of the places they have visited.

Computing: The children have continued to develop their word processing skills and have learned how to underline their text and put it in bold and italics. They have also learned how to move their text to different areas of the page.

RE: We have learned about the 5 pillars of Islam this week.

PE: Children have continued their dance and games lessons this week.

French: We have continued our work on greetings. The children have been practising how to ask and tell someone their name.

Well done Class 3 for working hard this week! Have a lovely weekend!
