In English we have begun a new writing unit using the text ‘King Kong’ by Anthony Browne. Before the text was revealed, the children predicted the story from picture clues from the text. Then the children describe the character of King Kong based on an illustration and a line from the text

In Maths the children have been learning to recognise how knowing and using the inverse operation can help to check and solve problems, with a focus on using multiplication and division as inverse operations.

In RE the children looked at the meaning of the Resurrection..

In geography the children studied the effects of human activity by looking at the positive and negative effects of the Three Gorges Dam.

Design & Technology - the children continued to use spaghetti to build their spaghetti truss bridges.

PE/resilience - The children played against each other at Bench ball and the focus was on being supportive team players. It was really lovely to see the teams working together positively, supporting each other and encouraging and including everyone on the team. Well done!
