English: We have written a letter to Willy Wonka this week in character as Charlie Bucket saying thank you for our visit to the chocolate factory.
We have also done our history lesson through English where we learned about Boudicca and her rebellion against the Roman army. The children wrote some fantastic speeches in character as Boudicca trying to persuade her tribe to join her in fighting the Romans.
Maths: The children have been practising their subtraction skills this week and have moved onto solving missing number problems. The Year 2’s have been solving worded problems linked to this and have been introduced to the pictorial column method. The Year 3 children have been practising the column method when re-grouping is required.
Science: We carried out an investigation this week. We wanted to see if a shadow would change size when we moved the light source further away and how this would affect it.
Art: We are getting close to finishing our Roman helmets! We have painted everything and now they just need to be assembled!
Other highlights of this week include transition day and practising for celebration assembly.
Just to note, the children have not been set any spellings or homework this week. They have been given a copy of the song we are going to sing in celebration assembly to practise at home. We are using an oompa loompa backing track from youtube which can be found here – https://youtu.be/XfUxxQ11EWY
