Our learning this week…
In RE, we have been continuing our topic ‘Prophecy and Promise’. This week we have explored the story of The Annunciation, considering how this event was the fulfillment of the prophecy made be Isaiah in the Old Testament. The children were able to reflect on the strength of Mary’s faith and trust in God.
In English we have started to plan our own fables based on our class texts ‘Fox’ and ‘Bear’. The children were encouraged to use a ‘story mountain’ to structure their stories and we developed our use of character description.
In Maths we have been consolidating our knowledge of multiplication and division, in solving a variety of real life word problems. We have also been using estimating and checking strategies to ensure answers are accurate.
In History, we have been continuing our topic on ‘The Stone Age’. This week we have been considering the differences and similarities between stone age and bronze age, with a particular focus on gathering and hunting food.
