Week beginning 14th July:

In English Cornwall have finished reading our new term book 'Varjak Paw' the children have been reading and planning their own sequel to this book. They have enjoyed coming up with creative ways that they might carry on the story. 

In Maths we have started the topic position and direction. The children have been looking at coordinate points and using them to create vertices of 2D shapes and translate them to different coordinates. 

We have also continued our topic in Science, electricity! The children have been investigating programmable devices and where we might see them in school, looking at how they are used and how this would work.

In history we have been looking at ancient Egyptian civilisiation, and seeing how this is different or similar to the ancient Sumerian civilisiation. Recapping all of our knowledge about what we have learnt. 

Thank you for a great week Cornwall class!
