Our Learning this Week

English

This week the children began writing their next book "All About Polar Bears" drawing on their new knowledge of the Arctic animal. The children planned their sentences, came up with actions to represent the words within the sentence and practiced saying the sentences aloud to remember them. Year 1 completed their writing and Year 2 wrote 4 pages of their book.

Maths

Year 1 - The children have begun a new topic focusing on place value to 50. We have looked at bigger numbers this week, partitioning them into tens and ones.

Year 2 - The children have continued their unit on multiplication and division. Focusing on the 2 and 10 times tables and the associated facts. 

Topic

We have begun our History unit on the Inuit people living in the Arctic Circle. We have looked at their way of life 150 years ago compared to today. We learnt about their homes and their clothing and how these have changed from past to present. We then enjoyed an exciting trip to the Pitts River museum in Oxford, where the children were so proud to show off their knowledge. Seeing real life Inuit artefacts really brought their learning to life!
