In maths we have continued work on addition and subtraction, working calculations out using a variety of methods:
- Mentally
- Column method
- Number lines
- Using manipulatives e.g. counters and place value mats
- Rounding to check
- Inverse calculations to check
In writing we continued taking inspiration from the Highwayman poem to create class banks of words before turning them in to similes, metaphors and stanzas.
In history we learnt about Chichen Itza, using mapping skills and previous knowledge to aid our knowledge.
RE this week was on National Poetry day so we looked at the poem by St Paul – Love is kind, and discussed its meaning and what the word love means to us.
