English: The children created their own persuasive poster advertising their chocolate bar for Willy Wonka this week. They used lots of persuasive features such as a slogan, exaggerated adjectives and personalised language. They also wrote a recount of our class trip to Chester.

Maths: We have been revising addition this week. The Year 2 children have been solving puzzles using their mental addition skills and the Year 3’s have been going over the column method for addition. We have also been practising our times tables and have done an arithmetic test.

History: The children spent some time researching what life was like in Britain before the Roman’s invaded – finding out about how the Celts lived, what they wore, what they ate etc.

PE: The children have continued to enjoy their swimming and tennis lessons this week. They Year 2 children have been learning how to play bench ball. Please note, that the last swimming lesson for the Year 3’s is next week. 

Other highlights of this week include sports day and our Class trip to Chester!

Have a great weekend!
