Term 2 Week 2

It has been another busy week, thank you to all those parents that attended parents' evening. It was lovely to discuss your child's successes with you.
In English this week we have been looking at noun phrases and how we can use these within extended pieces of writing to describe characters and settings. We also looked at the use of the possessive apostrophe.

In Maths Year 4 have been looking at recalling the multiplication facts for the 3, 6 and 9 times tables. Year 3 have been looking at finding complements to 100 using multiples of 10 and exploring the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction.

In History this week we were learning to understand chronology. We did this by completing a 'Let's say' lesson discussing what history an Egyptian house might have been and how this would compare to what the pyramids have seen. We then ordered key events in both world history and Egyptian history. In Science we were learning how shadows are formed. We did this by exploring the shadows created by shadow puppets and making observations. In DT we were learning to develop ideas through annotated sketches. We made sketches to plan what our Egyptian tombs might look like before beginning to make them next week.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

Mr Saunders, Mrs Hendry and Miss Parkes.
