Numeracy

This term, pupils are learning about time, as well as number patterns and relationships.  Through a mixture of games, problem solving and written tasks, the children have been focusing on calculating durations of time.  Some have even been planning their own days out to a new location – something we can all dream of doing after lockdown!

Literacy

At the beginning of term, the children used a picture as inspiration to write their own fictional piece of writing.  They focused on writing a story with a well structured beginning, middle and end.  It was good fun reading the twists and turns the children came up with for their story.

In the past couple of weeks, we have focused on non-fiction styles of writing using our topic, The Victorians, as a basis for this.  Last week, we pretended to be Victorian children living in a workhouse and used our knowledge of this to write an effective diary entry.
