We reverted to whole class maths lessons this week and the children have worked hard (and had a lot of fun), carrying out maths investigations. For our BODMAS investigation, some children chose to work independently, some worked in pairs and others worked in groups. The children really enjoyed this challenge and even wanted to carry on for a second lesson in order to get it completed.
In English, the children have almost finished writing their stories, set in WWII and they seem to be really enjoying it. We will be moving on to writing newspaper articles next - linked to a story line in Goodnight Mr Tom and also to an important WWII theme. We have told the children about a creative writing contest which requires the children to write a story in 500 words or less. I have suggested to the children that they might want to adapt the story which they have written in class and submit it to the contest.
In Topic, we have begun to plan for our VE Day street party which will be held in school on the afternoon of 19th June. The children have designed and made invitations and I expect some of you have already received these. This week, the children have also designed and planned a Design & Technology project which will be used for the party. I will say no more at the moment as I don't want to spoil their surprises but it is lovely to see the children so engaged in this project. After the half term break, the children will be engaged in making their projects.
