Our value for the term is: Generosity

The timetables we are focusing on at the moment are: 7's and 8's

Our learning this week:

Maths
This week, we have been learning about place value up to 1 million. The children have been practising how to partition numbers, read and write them correctly, and identify the value of each digit within a number. We have also explored how to find the numbers that come before and after a given number, helping to strengthen our understanding of number sequences and place value.

English
We have started our new book, Rose Blanche. The children have immersed themselves in the story, exploring the characters, themes, and setting. We have also analysed a WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like) to identify key writing features and techniques that will support us when creating our own pieces of writing.

Topic – History (World War II)
In History, we have been learning about World War II. We have explored the causes of the war, the impact it had on people around the world, and what life was like during this significant period. The children have enjoyed learning about the different aspects of WW2 and developing their understanding of this important event in history.

PE
In PE, we have been focusing on football. This week, the children have been learning how to dribble the ball correctly, developing their control, coordination, and confidence when moving with the ball. We have practised keeping the ball close while moving and improving our overall football skills.
