It is lovely to have the children back in school and settling well into their routine despite the cold weather!
In English, we have started our new class text, 'I Coriander' by Sally Gardener set in 17th Century England which ties in nicely with our new humanities topic, The Stuarts. We will learn about key events and figures of this era, including the relationship between James I and the Parliament, the Gunpowder Plot, and the broader political, religious and social context of 17th century England.
Maths lessons have opened interesting discussions on what makes a good mathematician, alongside a new topic of area and perimeter of composite and rectilinear shapes. We are encouraging pupils to explain their reasoning, to use various methods to solve a problem, and to prompt links between various topics.
Learning
