Autumn Term 1 - Week 3

Week 3

Hello everyone!

This week in English, we've been diving into characterisation by describing a pirate from The Pirate Cruncher. The children have been mastering the un- prefix, using words like unhealthy, untidy, unkempt, unemployed, and even unpopular! They then designed their own pirates and crafted detailed descriptions with expanded noun phrases—fantastic creativity all around!

In Maths, we continued with place value, focusing on calculating 1 more and 1 less than numbers up to 20. We’ve used apparatus and started working with number lines to speed up our calculations. Some of the children even expressed their observations in pictures and words!

In Geography, we learnt about the five oceans on Earth and practised naming them. Meanwhile, in Science, we reflected on our experiment from last week and wrote down our results. What a busy and exciting week it has been!

Please note that children have been sent home with their Reading Records and Home Learning today.
