Dear all,
\nIn English this week we have started to write our diary entry from the perspective of the character Stitch Head. The children spent time looking at and evaluating different diary extracts in order to begin to write in a preferred style. We will complete these next week before half term.
\nIn Maths, we have continued our addition and subtraction unit. This week we have focused on increasing our confidence when using different strategies to solve subtraction problems. Next week we will be looking at using strategies to solve subtraction calculations and problems that involving the decomposing (borrowing) method and using the inverse operation (addition).
\nIn RE, we started our Prayer, Saints and Feasts unit. The children watched a story of Mary, Martha and Jesus and reflected on how Mary\u2019s choice of spending time with Jesus rather than preparing the house for his visit as Martha chose to do. We discussed Jesus\u2019 message of \u2018relationships are what matter\u2019.
\nIn Science, we have been investigating how to insert a homemade switch into a circuit to turn a light on and off. The children have been so motivated by this unit and have been hypothesising on how to solve this problem. We have set the children a challenge to research switches on how they can be made for next week\u2019s lesson.
