The children have worked incredibly hard since returning to school 6 weeks ago, and I am so pleased with the way they settled back into school and learning.<\/p>\n

Literacy – Last week the children finished their diary entries for the Young Writer\u2019s Competition. They are all so proud of their work! To conclude our topic on Habitats, this week we wrote a Habitat Fact File on our favourite habitat we learned about over the last 6 weeks.<\/p>\n

We consolidated our knowledge of our spelling sounds we have covered since we returned to school. The children practised their words in lots of active ways at different spelling stations. The children said they enjoyed revisiting previous sounds as it helped to refresh their understanding!<\/p>\n

Next term, we will learn in more depth about persuasive writing and poetry.<\/p>\n

Maths – Last week we finished our topic on Division. We worked hard to apply their knowledge of division to various problem-solving activities. The children worked well to support one another.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This week we learned about Ancient Roman and Egyptian Numerals \u2013 the children have loved it and said it felt like they were learning a special secret code! It was great to see some of the children linking their new learning to a real-world context, remembering where they have seen Roman Numerals used before (on clocks, sundials etc).<\/p>\n

Next term we will learn about measure, weight and capacity, as well as fractions. With Miss Davie, the children will work on their problem-solving skills in maths.<\/p>\n

Health and Wellbeing – We continued with our focus on Safety in Health and Wellbeing. We discussed Safe and Unsafe places. We also revisited our \u2018Learning Line\u2019 display which we learned about prior to lockdown. The children created a \u2018mini-me\u2019 figure to be displayed on the Learning Line, and as we go forward into next term, we will use these to show our progress along the Learning Line when learning new concepts. This will encourage the children to reflect on their own learning and next steps.<\/p>\n

IDL – Since returning to school, the children have loved our Habitats topic! We have explored Woodland, Ocean, Rainforest and Artic habitats. Last week, we had a whole day themed on The Arctic. We started the day by going through Security to travel by plane! We learned about Air Resistance, Artic Animals, and how people live in the Arctic. The children showed so much excitement and enthusiasm! This week, the children chose their favourite habitat and created a habitat in a shoe box \u2013 they are very effective!<\/p>\n
