Throughout this week, the children have been lead in prayer and quiet contemplation on the passing of our nation’s Queen Elizabeth II. As the longest standing monarch in British History, the children have been able to share their own thoughts during this national time of sadness, reflecting on the life of such a unique and inspirational monarch.

Our learning this week…

In English the children have started to write their own diary entries in role as a character from our class story, The Stone Age Boy. They were able to use a range of expanded noun phrases to enhance their use of description.

In Maths we have continued to learn about place value in numbers up to 1000, the children were able to order larger numbers and have explored adding and taking away 1, 10 and 100.

In RE the children have been exploring the theme of belonging to a community and we have developed some of our own understanding of our school focus on ‘Care, Learn and Respect’

In PE, the children enjoyed developing their netball skills with the support of the Blackpool FC coaches.
