Autumn 2, Week 2:

This week in English, the children have learning how to use present tense in nonfiction writing, the use of third person and also planned their fact files ready to write up next week. They have worked hard to research and make notes on the human skeleton and used all the knowledge they have learnt through their whole class reading and science lessons.

In Maths, the children learned how to solve addition and subtraction using the number line and column method. They have used their knowledge of partitioning to support them with their methods.

In Science, the children have investigated fatty foods to find out which foods hold the most fat. They investigated foods such as crisps, rice cakes, crackers and broad beans by placing them onto a paper towel and crushing them with a rolling pin. They then left the paper towel to dry for 30 minutes. They found out that the rice crackers had no greasy marks left on the paper towline and therefore it was the least fatty food.

In PSHE, the children learned about the importance of exercise and why we should aim for one hour of physical activity each day. They shared the types of exercise they enjoy and talked about how these activities make them feel—for example, energised, strong, or calm.

In R.E, the children learnt about the different ways Christians pray. They discussed how and when Christians pray and what it means to them.
