Our Learning this Week

English

This week we have continued writing our memoirs, focusing on recognising how the suffix -ed can change a root word to the past tense as well as the use of time adverbials (first, then, next, after that, finally) to order the events of the day. Year 1 have continued to consolidate their knowledge of conjunctions by using these words to extend their sentences. Year 2 have been learning how to use commas in a list.

Maths

We have continued to work on multiplication this week. Focusing on identifying the number of groups and the amount of objects in each group and writing this as a multiplication sum. We have practiced our 2 and 5 times tables, and we are getting faster and faster at reciting them!

* Times Tables to practise are 2x, 5x and 10x. Once these have been learnt please practise the 3 times table.

Topic

We finished our history unit this week, ending our lessons with an exciting archaeological dig. We discussed how grids can be used to separate digging areas, and help keep track of what we have found. We found many "fossils" and discussed the shape and appearance of each one, trying to decide what they could have been! 

RE

This term we are learning why Easter matters to Christians. In this week's lesson we learnt about Good Friday. We discussed the meaning of the word 'good' and why Christians describe the day as good when something so sad happened. Our learning about Good Friday helped us understand God's rescue plan for the Christians and how Jesus' death saved the Christians.
