To end our topic, ‘What makes someone Royal?’, Key Stage 1 hosted their own version of The Tower of London. We displayed our crowns that we had made and held a Crown Jewels Exhibition. Our parents came after school to have a look and they were very impressed. We also sold jeweled biscuits that we had made to raise money for our next immersive learning project.

The day before our exhibition we had a very exciting delivery! It was a letter from the Queen’s Lady in Waiting. We also put this on display for our parents and they were very impressed!

Year 5/6 had so much fun participating in a full Viking day experience! We set up a trading post and used grain to exchange for goods. Children worked in teams to gather as much grain as possible to see who were the most successful traders at the end of the day.

In order to receive grain, they had to buy Viking tasks to complete and the traders would then buy them back. Excellent teamwork was demonstrated by all and it was a fantastic opportunity to put all of our Viking knowledge to use! Well done!

On Thursday afternoon we invited parents and carers in to Key Stage 1 for a ‘Maths is Fun’ session. In year 2 we worked with our parents and carers on division challenges. We used objects for the green challenges, drew our answers for the amber challenges and used  mental methods for the red questions.

When we had finished, we worked on our reasoning skills with some challenge questions. We had a brilliant afternoon!

In Miss Stathers’  Maths class this week we have been learning about 2D shapes. We have counted the sides and vertices on shapes and learned how to draw them. Then we looked at vertical lines of symmetry.

We had great fun making a line of symmetry by folding shapes.

Then we drew lines of symmetry on shapes.

Next week we are looking at 3D shapes.
