English: This week the children have created a new character for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They came up with a new child who had won a ticket and then wrote a story about their visit to the factory and what happened to them. We have also spent some time looking at the poems/songs the oompa loompa’s sing about the different children and then had a go at writing our own about our new character.
Maths: We have been focusing on multiplication this week. The Year 2 children have been revising multiplication as repeated addition and have been matching images to multiplication number sentences. The Year 3 children have been multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We have done this with images in a place value grid and have been learning the column method for doing this.
Science: We have been describing the properties of different rocks this week and have been identifying their uses.
History: The children have been learning about what life was like for a Roman Soldier and have written a diary entry as though they are a Soldier.
PE: We have begun practising for sports day this week!
RE: The children have concluded their work on ‘What do Christians believe about God?’ bringing together all their ideas from previous sessions.
After half term our PE days will change to a Thursday and Friday.
Year 2 children will have games on a Thursday and tennis on a Friday.
Year 3 children will have swimming on a Thursday and tennis on a Friday.
Thank you for your continued support this half term, I hope you all have a lovely break!
