Autumn 2 - Week 1

Date: 8th Nov 2026 @ 10:13pm

What a fantastic week we have had in Marvellous Meerkats! The children have worked incredibly hard across all subjects and should be very proud of their achievements.

➗ Maths

In Maths, the children showed great perseverance as they revisited and strengthened their understanding of short multiplication and long division. They worked carefully through increasingly challenging calculations, demonstrating resilience when faced with tricky problems. It was wonderful to see so many children applying their knowledge independently and refusing to give up when things became difficult.

📝 English

In English, we began exploring how to write an informative guide to healthy eating. The children investigated the key features of successful guides and identified examples of technical vocabulary linked to health and nutrition.

❤️ Science

Science was certainly a highlight this week! The children thoroughly enjoyed watching a lamb's heart dissection and learning more about the circulatory system. They carefully observed the different parts of the heart and explored how this remarkable organ pumps blood around the body. The children asked thoughtful questions and demonstrated excellent scientific curiosity throughout the lesson.

🏐 PE

In PE, we began our new netball unit. The children focused on developing their hand-eye coordination through a range of catching, passing and movement activities. They showed great teamwork and determination as they practised new skills and supported one another.
