This week in Devon

Week beginning 11th May

In English, we have enjoyed reading lots of 'The Wild Robot' and the children have written some fantastic narratives from Brightbill's perspective. We agreed that (despite having only just hatched) Brightbill would know how to use a range of adverbs and adjectives and already know how to punctuate direct speech, resulting in some wonderful writing.

In Maths, we have moved onto looking at money. The class used their knowledge of decimals well and are confident when comparing amounts of money. Please do continue to talk about money and rounding to the nearest pound when out on your next shopping trip!

In Science, Devon enjoyed creating their own circuits and adding various components to observe the effects. They drew scientific diagrams in their books and clearly explained the changes they had made.

In History, we have been looking at city states in ancient Sumer. We learned about what the main features of city states were and the class drew what they believed the city states looked like. There were some lovely drawings with annotations about each element of the area and its purpose at the time.
