Week beginning 11th June:

In English Cornwall have started reading our new term book 'Varjak Paw' the children have been really enjoying the tale of a unique cat. We have written a leaflet about what equality is, and how important it is we celebrate differences and treat everyone the same no matter if they are different to us!

In Maths we have spent some lessons recapping all of our previous understanding looking at multiplication, addition and subtraction. Using all of our previous learning to answer word problems. 

We have also continued our topic in Science, electricity! The children have been building circuits to see if different material conducts the electricity. 

In history we have been looking at ancient Sumerians and ancient Egyptians, investigating how their civilizations were similar and different. We wrote a diary entry as if we are ancient Sumerians, who accidently time traveled to ancient Egypt and what it would have been like!

Thank you for a great week Cornwall class!
