Week beginning 30th June:

In English Cornwall have continued reading our new term book 'Varjak Paw' the children have been really enjoying getting to know and understand new characters. They have been inventing their own back story to a character and how they became a stray living on the streets.

In Maths we have finished off our topic of shape and have started our new topic of statistics. The children have been looking at different way that data could be collected and presented using different graphs. 

We have also continued our topic in Science, electricity! The children have been investigating how to make a switch circuit. They enjoyed making and explaining how they had made the lightbulb turn on and off. 

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 (very warm) week Cornwall class!
