English: We have continued reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and have been reading about when the children visit the factory and enter the chocolate room. We have done some writing imagining what the chocolate room is like and all the wonderful things you would find in there. We have also done some story writing this week, writing the story of what the children do during their factory visit.
The Year 2’s have also been doing some revision ready for SATS.
Maths: This week we have moved onto multiplication and division. We have done some work on fact families – finding related x and ÷ facts – e.g. 3 x 4 = 12, 4 x 3 = 12, 12 ÷ 4 = 3, 12 ÷ 3 = 4. We have also been comparing number sentences using the greater than, less than and equals symbols – e.g. 3 x 4 < 5 x 3.
The Year 2 children have been practising lots of different types of questions in preparation for their SATS.
Science: We carried out our ‘hard rock’ investigation this week where the children were testing to see how hard or soft a rock was. They were focusing on carrying out their test fairly and recording their results accurately.
Computing: We have developed our understanding of how to change backgrounds and control two characters within the computer programme Scratch.
PE: The children have continued with their games lessons this week.
RE: The children have been writing some poetry based on their understanding of what Christians believe about God.
Well done for another great week Class 3!
