This week in Devon

Week beginning 20th April

In English, the class have enjoyed starting our new book 'The Wild Robot'. We have only been introduced to a couple of characters so far and the class are intrigued to learn more. Some children have seen the Wild Robot film and have already noticed some differences in the first few chapters of the book!

In Maths, the class have been working hard to represent hundredths as fractions, decimals and on place value charts. We have also been dividing by 100 using place value charts. Please do use your next shopping trip to think about how one pence is one hundredth of one pound and how decimal places are used for representing money. 

In Science, we have moved on to our electrical circuits unit. Devon worked hard to define key vocabulary (conduct, circuit, bulb, battery) which will be used a lot during the Summer Term!

In French, we have looked at how to order food in a cafe. The children used their knowledge of cognates to translate some of the food vocabulary and enjoyed asking each other what they would like.

We had a wonderful time on our school trip to Lewes Railway Land Nature Reserve yesterday and the class listened well to the staff, engaging in discussions and completing the activities sensibly. We were very lucky with the weather which was ideal for our field sketches, observations and river study. A big thank you to our parent volunteers who really helped the class make the most of the day!
