For what felt like longer than a week, we are back in school after half term and back straight into our learning. It was brilliant to see the children again, some looking very bronzed after their week abroad, and it was brilliant to see them just jump straight back into their learning. We have started many new topics across our curriculum so the children have been full of curiosity as they tackle many new tasks.
In English, our topic is myths and legends. We have been exploring some popular legend stories such as ‘The Loch Ness Monster’ and ‘George and the Dragon’. We have compared different legend stories to other books/films that relate to these and made connections between them.
In Maths, we are continuing with our topic of place value but have been exploring the world of decimals. W have been looking at tenths and hundredths and the value of these compared to the values we already know- such as ones, tens, hundreds etc.
As the weather continues to pour down, we were left with no choice but to have another indoor PE lesson. Some improvisation left us with some table tennis, HIIT stations and just dance.
Let’s Celebrate
