We had a great week, the highlight being our Trip on Thursday to New Lanark. We had a good journey there and our first session was a visit to the school room where the children had great fun playing with Victorian toys/games. These included hopscotch, skittles, peevers. Our next session was a trip to the Annie Macleod experience. Everybody enjoyed this although some were a little nervous to begin with. The children heard about life in the mill village back in Victorian times and began to understand what it was like. We then had our lunch and our last visit was to a Victorian cottage and shop. The children were fascinated to learn what life was like then. So a successful visit.
We began our Victorian study by thinking about what we know and want to know. Then we started our focus on Victorian toys.
In Literacy we having working on the “ou” and “th” sounds, as well as reading and comprehension.
In Maths we have continued with multiplication, focussing on 2 times table.
The children had an exciting time exploring under the sea with their google experience. They will explain if they haven’t already.
