The children have settled back in to school very well after what we hope was an enjoyable break!
We have decided on a historical topic about Ancient Egypt using our whole school topic of Light's Camera Action! So far, we have been locating Egypt in relation to other countries. In Literacy, we have been exploring poetry all about Ancient Egypt and Queen Nefertiti. The children have been using descriptive language such as similes, metaphors and poetic features such as rhythm and rhyme.
In Maths we have identified properties of 2D and 3D shapes, classified triangles and explored different types of angles such as right angles, acute and obtuse angles. Now we have moved on to Number Sense where children will be consolidating their place value knowledge.
In PE, we have been exploring balances and floor positions in gymnastics and have almost mastered the forward roll!
