English

In English this week, we have been busy debating. Our teachers posed the statement, 'Men had the most important jobs in the Stone Age.' and we worked to formulate an argument based on our opinions and evidence on the time period. We had an actual debate in the classroom and then wrote our ideas down. We celebrated National Poetry Day on Thursday by exploring and creating our own poetry based on the theme of 'Refuge'.

Next week we will be focusing on narrative writing as we re-create our class text 'Stone Age Boy' from a different perspective.

 

Maths

Our Maths learning this week has been focused on rounding. We have learnt how to round 2 and 3-digit numbers to the nearest multiple of 10 and 100. 

Next week we will turn our focus to graphs.

Thematic

In our thematic learning this week we have been exploring culture throughout the Prehistoric Era. We have looked at the developments in ceramics, art and technology. Next week we will be celebrating all things prehistoric with a WOW day. We have a range of exciting activities planned and, of course, will be welcoming in Thanet Archaeology.
