🌱 English

We have been bringing our Incredible Edibles unit to a close by crafting our final instructional writes. The children have worked hard to include clear features such as numbered steps, precise verbs, helpful diagrams and layout choices that guide the reader. Next week, we begin a brand-new text focus linked to our Geography unit on Migration, exploring stories of movement, journeys and change.

➗ Maths

Children are working within different strands depending on their next steps:  

- Some have completed their work on fractions and are now moving into decimals, building confidence in tenths and hundredths.  

- Others are deepening their understanding of multiplication, including reasoning, scaling and correspondence problems.  

- A further group is exploring the properties of 2D shapes, with a particular focus on symmetry.  

We have also had a strong arithmetic focus this week. It has been brilliant to see the children challenging themselves to work both quickly and carefully through a wide range of number problems.

🧲 Science

Our new topic on Forces has begun with a pre-learning quiz to spark curiosity and uncover what the children already know. We have explored pushes, pulls, and the force of gravity, using practical examples to help the children make sense of how forces act in the world around them.
