As the half-term comes to a close, the children have been reading the story 'Winnie the witch', and using it as their inspiration to write detailed character descriptions and also stories based on her adventures.

In Maths, we have been learning about multiplication and division for the pattern of 2s.  The class were very keen to learn about bar models as a method for drawing multiplication and division calculations and are looking forward to properly learning and practising the method in the future.

In Geography, we have been looking at how beaches and coastal regions differ in different climates.  We have also been identifying the human and physical features that can be found in each coastal region. 

The children and adults had an inspirational trip to the Natural History Museum, where we got to watch a show about how our oceans are being impacted by humans.  We were then able to spend some time looking at the fascinating exhibitions in the main entrance hall of the museum.  It was a busy day in London and the children were very well-behaved and a credit to the school.  This was a great way to end our Science learning and explore one habitat in a bit more detail.
