Our learning this week -  Spring Term

English

This week, we've been continuing to study the book Jemmy Button. We've been reviewing his experiences and learning how to use inverted commas to show speech. On Thursday, the children planned out their return narrative write, ready for next week. 

Maths

We've been using our place value templates to help work out how to divide and multiply a 2 digit number. We've also been doing some problem solving to help stretch their reasoning. 

Geography

We've been exploring the continent of Africa, with a particular focus on the impact of the world's largest river on its surrounding area - the Nile. We've also been evaluating the similarities and differences between urban and rural areas e.g. Cape Town and Kenya. 

Science

The children have been investigating the different types of teeth that humans and animals have and why they might need to have different shaped teeth e.g. for grinding, tearing, chewing. 

As well as the above, we're doing PE, RE, PSHE, French and Guided Reading, tying in with our topic theme, where possible. 

Our PE days are Mon and Wed. 

Our value this term is perseverance.
