This week we have been gathering lots of interesting facts about Queen Victoria. We will use this information in Writing to create a biography. We have been developing the key skills of an effective reader as we enjoy our class novel – Chimney Child. This week, in Reading, we focused on developing mental images and asking questions about the text.
In Maths (in the olden days – when Mrs Mackenzie and Mrs McClafferty were at school – this was called Arithmetic) we are developing our multiplication skills – both mental and written. We very quickly realised just how important it is to know our times table facts. We will work very hard on them to participate in our weekly Beat the Clock challenge.
