English: The children have been doing work linked to the General Election. They began the week with a reading activity, learning what the General Election is and what some of the parties manifestos were. They then formed their own parties and came up with a name, logo, slogan and manifesto. They used these to create posters and write some speeches for their campaign (please see post below for photos).
Maths: We began the week by revising the grid method for multiplication with some children progressing onto learning the column method for short multiplication. We have now moved on to learning the bus stop method for division, first with no remainders, then with remainders and finally when carrying is involved. We have been so impressed with how well the children have picked this up – well done Class 3!
D&T: The children have begun to make their packaging – this will be finished off over the next couple of weeks.
Geography: We have started a new geography topic called ‘Settlements’. We have thought about what early settlers would have needed and looked for when deciding on a place to live.
RE: We have finished off our work on ‘salvation’ and will be starting a new topic of ‘creation’ next week.
Other things that the children have done this week include filling out a pupil survey about our school and practising for the Concord College Choir competition next week.
Have a lovely weekend all!
