We've had another brilliant week of learning...

 

In maths, we've been recognising the place value of digits up to a million, and learning how to partition numbers in different ways. 

In English, we've started reading our new class text, ’Sky Hawk’ - we’ve used evidence from the text to suggest why Iona (the main character) may be mysterious... 

In topic, we've been plotting the route of Darwin’s HMS Beagle on a world map. The children were given a little homework task to find out how many miles the ship sailed, and I was staggered to find out that the HMS Beagle travelled 54,000 miles in 5 years! As Darwin dug up many fossils of extinct animals on his travels, this inspired us to create our own out of clay. Don't they look great?!
