Autumn Term 1 - Week 7

Week 7

In History this week we learnt about Sir Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake who was a significant local historical figure. We learnt how he used to be the Mayor of Maidstone and was the owner of Maidstone Zoo which is now Cobtree Manor Park. We learnt about the animals that used to be at the zoo and looked at photo sources showing visitors at the zoo.  In English, we linked our learning to this and designed our own maps of a zoo and then wrote a recount with time conjunctions.

In Maths this week we have continued learning how to add. We have become masters at doubling and have begun to learn how we can add two numbers using 'near doubling' e.g. we can add 7 + 8 by doubling 7 and then adding 1. 

In RE we learnt about the Golden Rule and shared times where we have shown kindness. In Science we learnt about how weather changes in Autumn and created windsocks so we can observe how windy it gets in Autumn.
