This week, children in Years 3 and 4 have worked exceptionally hard on creating a brochure advertising an attraction in the local area. Children effectively researched their attraction of choice, before then using Microsoft Publisher to create a tri-fold brochure. We hope this will inform the children's review writing next week.
In Maths, children have moved on from multiplication to solving division problems using an appropriate method. Lots of children are finding this tricky but are persevering. Next week will see the introduction of more focused tutorial groups to help children develop this skill.
In Science, children made some observations of soil using magnifying glasses, and learned about the characteristics of four different soil types; sandy soil, peaty soil, chalky soil and heavy clay soil.
Thank you to all those who attended parent's evenings. We hope you found them helpful.
