We hope you find these guides informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all.
Our learning this week…
In English we have been exploring our new class text ‘Leaf’, discussing the actions of the characters within the story and considering ways in which we could use fronted adverbials to form our own sentences to describe the polar bear in the story and the setting.
In Maths we have been finding the perimeters of a range of rectangles and squares. The children have completed activities involving accurate measuring and we have applied this new learning to a variety of word problems linked to finding perimeter.
In RE this week we have been developing our understanding of the ‘Magnificat’ as Mary’s song of joy and praise. The children were able to explain some of the key vocabulary from the scripture and how Christians might show they are living these messages in their own lives’.
