Autumn Term 2 - Week 6

Week 7

We started December off with a visit to St Martin's Church on Monday to take part in their Christmas Experience. The children moved around to different stations around the church where they learnt about different parts of The Nativity.  You can view photos from our visit on our Teams page.

In English this week we have continued to learn how to write diary entries with us focusing on writing in the first person this week. We role-played the first night of the Great Fire of London, imagining what we could hear, see, smell and feel and then wrote about it.

In Maths we have been learning to compare numbers and explaining how we know which number is more or less. Year 1s have been describing the comparisons using the words 'more than,' 'less than' and 'equal to' and Year 2s have been using the <, > and = signs.

In Science this week we explored the suitability of materials by choosing our own materials to make a house and then testing it out. In Computing we learnt about the artist George Seurat and created our own version of pointillism using the Show Me app. Finally, in History we learnt about the impact of the Great Fire of London. We learnt what happened in the Great Fire of London and how things changed in London following it.

Next week, we will be comparing the houses we live in to Tudor houses.  Please send in a photo of the outside of your house through your private channels on the Teams page. Thank you
