After our trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, the children wrote thank you letters. We explored the features and language of a formal letter. Here are some fantastic examples!

Over the last couple of weeks the children have been working really hard to understand column subtraction and exchanging the numbers. We have used Base 10 equipment as a visual aid to represent the numbers and physically exchange between each column. 

Yorkshire Wildlife Park

We had a fantastic day at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Despite the wind, we managed to see lots of different animals linked to our topic of Africa. 

Harley Gallery: Illustration Workshop

We were lucky enough to visit the Harley Gallery, where we took part in an illustration workshop. The children were able to explore the art gallery where we saw illustrations of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! After that, we went to the learning centre and had a go at our own illustrations. 

English: Diaries

We have been using our class text 'Akimbo' to write a diary all about trying to catch a poacher. We explored vocabulary around emotions and how they change so much throughout the day. Look at some of the fabulous work created.

Times Table Champions 

Two of our classmates were awarded medals for their excellent times table knowledge.

The children have be learning all about different teeth. We identified that adult humans have 32 teeth including incisors, canines, molars and wisdom teeth. We used a mirror to look at our teeth to see if we could identify them.
