This week in numeracy we have been looking at the ‘language of subtraction’. We can recognise the key words that tell us to subtract and use different strategies to solve the calculation.

As part of our living things topic we looked at food chains. We started by talking about what different animals we know eat. We learnt that food chains are a way of showing how different plants and animals depend on each other for survival. We know that all food chains start with energy from the sun.

For RME we are starting to look at the parables of Jesus. We told the story of the prodigal son together with the help of some very good actors! We talked about the adjectives we could use to describe the different characters in the story.

In literacy we are learning about instructions. We looked at lots of different examples of instructions like games, recipes and diy manuals. This helped us work out what we need to include in our writing for next week.
