4th and 5th September
Term has begun and we have started the new year with some basic English and Maths work and a cross-curricular topic.
In English, we have done some comprehension work based on the story of The Shrinking of Treehorn, answering questions which require detailed responses, while our maths work has focused on addition and subtraction calculations.
Our topic has covered ideas about health, safety and personal responsibility from the starting point of being lost. This work has involved lots of "thinking skills" activities (and the challenge of building our own shelters using sticks, leaves and litter) and is forming an introduction to our geography work on Mountain and Other Environments.
