Week beginning Monday 9th June

In English this week, the children have got to know the main characters in the book Varjak Paw. Using a thesaurus, the children found descriptive words to use in a character description of Varjak.

In Maths, the children have continued to revise place value, fractions and decimals.

In science, the children have rounded up their electrical conductors test and used this information to think about how switches work. 
History has been so interesting and we have begun to find out about how ancient Egyptians lived. The children have also been using the books in the discovery centre to find out about other ancient civilisations,

Lastly, a big thank you to the Dad’s that came into the class after Father’s Day breakfast. We all really enjoyed your help with the activities 

Have a good week, everyone .
