Welcome Back:
Welcome back to our final term of the year! There is so much to look forward to, and it has been wonderful to see the children return with such enthusiasm and positivity. They have quickly settled into routines and are showing a fantastic attitude towards their learning and the exciting activities ahead.
This week in maths, we have been revising money skills, including recognising coins, calculating totals, and finding change. Children also practised column subtraction with exchanging, building accuracy in written methods. We used strategies to solve problems, helping strengthen their confidence and fluency across key number skills.
In science, children have been matching animals to their suitable habitats. They explored environments such as forests, oceans, and deserts, discussing why animals live there. This helped them understand how habitats provide food, water, and shelter, and how living things depend on their surroundings to survive.
English:
This week in English, the focus has been on reading comprehension, along with practising spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Children worked through a range of activities to improve accuracy and understanding. It has been great to see their confidence growing as they apply these skills in both reading and writing tasks.
Design & Technology (DT):
In DT, children began exploring the features of microhabitats, learning what makes a suitable environment for small creatures. They observed natural examples and discussed materials and structure. This learning will support their final project, where they will design and build their own functional microhabitat.
RE:
In RE, children learned about the Prophet Muhammad and his importance as a respected leader for Muslims. They explored how his teachings guide people’s beliefs and actions. The children showed curiosity and respect during discussions, developing a deeper understanding of different faiths and religious traditions.
PE:
In PE, children focused on target practice, using a variety of equipment to roll different sized balls accurately. They practised control, coordination, and aiming skills through fun activities and games. It was fantastic to see their determination and improvement as they developed confidence in their physical abilities.
