In Science, we have been learning all about how and why we experience day and night on Earth. We have been looking at globes and using light sources to mimic the sun’s rays bouncing off the Earth’s surface whilst revisiting the anti-clockwise rotation of the Earth on its axis.

In Humanities, we enjoyed reading a story called ‘Bird Man’ which is based in prehistoric Oman. The children enjoyed learning from the story and discussing elements that they recognised in terms of vocabulary, places and cultural rituals mentioned. 

In English, we have continued reading our text Coming to England. This week we have been learning about anecdotes and thinking of our own. We also looked carefully at the features of autobiographies.

In Maths, we have continued with our learning about place value. The children have been ordering, comparing, rounding and expressing the values of numbers in different ways. 

In Art, we continued working on our pieces inspired by Sandra Silberzweig. The children explored patterns and shapes, selected their best examples and will now start adding colour to their work using colouring pencils or pastels.
