YEAR 1

This week in maths we are revising time- finding o'clocks and half pasts, and thinking what the time will be/ was an hour/ half hour ago/before. We are also going to begin working on telling the time to quarter to and past. In literacy we are writing our own fairytale. In addition we are taking tests in maths and reading.

Please do not forget to send your child in with their towel, swimming costume, swum hat and waterproof bag. 

YEAR 5

This week in Year 5, we are completing our last set of tests before we begin our journey in Year 6. We are continuing our writing about Jim Jarvis and his life in Victorian Britain in English and our history links nicely because we are looking at the lives of children from working in the mines etc to school. We are really excited to carry out our planned investigations into irreversible changes.
