This week we have been delighted with the way the children have returned to school. We have been enjoying catching up on all of their adventures from their Easter time break.

In Maths this week we have been busy solving problems with money. We have been converting money from pennies to pounds and pennies and finding many solutions to problems such as if I had 3 coins in my pocket how much money could I have? What is the most I could have? What if they were all different coins?  The children have really enjoyed this learning journey.

In English we have been reading the book ‘the river’. We have explored new language that could be used to describe a river like plunged, turbulent and many more. Our focus has been on prepositions – amongst, between, within etc.

We finished our Science topic on Rocks by learning all about Fossils and how they are formed. We are lucky to have a fossil collector amongst the team who was happy to share some of the many fossils she has collected in shops but also from hunts along the beaches such as on the Isle of Wight. The highlight was getting to touch a fossil of a dinosaur foot!!

Have a lovely long weekend.
