Southborough Church of England Primary School
Week beginning 27th April
In English, we have been learning more about how Roz washed up on the island and the challenges she is facing while learning to adjust to her new and unfamiliar surroundings. We have written narratives using a range of adjectives and adverbs and written letters of advice to Roz, making sure we empathise with her.
In Maths, the class have been working hard to make wholes using tenths and hundredths. They have used part whole models, hundred squares and place value charts well to demonstrate their understanding. Please do keep practising number bonds to 100 at home to support the partitioning of one whole into smaller parts. If you've got a pound and you give their sibling 54p, how many pence will they get and do they think it's fair?!
In Science, Devon have started to look at components and were intrigued by some of the equipment on display during the lesson. They will get an opportunity to use the equipment to create their own circuits soon!
Devon did a fantastic job during their first week of swimming. They walk there and back sensibly and worked hard in the pool - the instructors were impressed! Thank you to everyone for making sure that each child had everything they needed in their swimming kits.
This is an example timetable of what a typical week in Devon will look like.
PE is on Tuesday and Wednesday this term.
