Good Evening to you all,

 

This week the children had a great afternoon planting broad beans and potatoes. They also learnt how to look after them over the coming weeks. Next week the children will be planting carrots and beetroot. We continued with our History topic ‘Famous Queens’ and we learnt about Elizabeth I and the Tudors. It was Maths day on Wednesday and the children created block graphs and pictograms based on Year 1’s favourite fruit and books. They also really enjoyed learning about what the buttons did on a Beebot.

 Maths- The children will continue to learn about place value to 50.

 

English- The children will finish writing their non-chronological report about bats. Towards the end of the week they will begin their new English topic based on ‘traditional tales.’
