Hello everyone!
With only two weeks left in the term, there’s still so much to fit in and the Winter Show just around the corner! Here are some highlights from the week.
The children had a wonderful day at the Kindness Market on Friday, purchasing toys, books, clothes, and sweet treats. A big thank you to the PTA for organizing such a fantastic event.
In Maths, we wrapped up our unit on multiplication and division. Early in the week, the children completed their learning of the 11 and 12 times tables. We ended the week with engaging games to review multiplication and division facts, followed by our end-of-unit assessment. Additionally, we began our new unit on area.
In Literacy, the children spent the week crafting their historical fiction narratives. Each day, they wrote a paragraph, which I reviewed and provided feedback on to help them make improvements. I’ve been thoroughly impressed with their creative writing skills!
During IPC, we continued our exploration of prehistory, moving on to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. We examined significant changes in daily life, compared these periods to the Stone Age, and discussed how these metals were made. For the Iron Age, the children also completed a “Diamond 9” activity, ranking the most to least important changes of the era.
