In Maths this week, the children have been consolidating their understanding of division (using the bus stop method) and applying it in to a variety of different problems/investigations. For a great tuition video visit https://vimeo.com/146562264

 

This week in English we have been writing and publishing our non-chronological reports on Grendel, the monstrous beast from Beowulf. This will end our Beowulf topic. We will be moving on to learning about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child and using these as stimuli for our writing.

 

In RE, this week we have begun our unit on Sacraments by thinking about the word ‘vocation’. We have thought about our own callings in life and the jobs we would like do. We will be moving on to think about the jobs of those whose vocation is within the Church.

Today we had a wonderful trip to the Historic Dockyard to visit the Mary Rose Museum as part of our history learning, comparing Viking ships to more modern ships. The children enjoyed two workshops; Henry’s Heroes and Fighting Fit. We had the opportunity to dress up as Tudor sailors and interact with some of the artefacts. A huge thank you to all our parent helpers, without you, the trip wouldn’t have been possible!
