This Week in Cumbria

Week beginning Monday 16th March

We have had a great week full of learning in Cumbria this week. 

In Maths, we have come to the end of our unit on fractions, finishing off by adding and subtracting mixed numbers. It was been impressive to see the children grow in confidence with their fraction work and apply their new skills so well. 

We are still busy practising our times tables recall so please continue to practise these at home on https://ttrockstars.com/ and https://www.timestables.co.uk/

This week in English, we have read more of our class text and had some thoughtful discussions about what life as a refugee must be like and some of the challenges they face.  We used this to help us in some of our pieces of writing this week. 

In geography this week, we found it really interesting to discuss changes in the environment and whether these are caused by humans, nature or both. We also looked at a case study of flooding in Somerset and found some of the images really surprising!

The highlight of the week was creating our Bankura horses out of clay. The results are extremely impressive. The children worked so hard on these and really showed off their creative abilities. Photos to follow soon. 

Have a lovely weekend!
