Dorset

Week beginning Monday 7th October:

This week in Maths we have worked on addition using the column method, as well as using our place value counters. We will learn how to subtract two 4-digit numbers and exchanging at the end of this week.

In English, we finished reading the book, The King who banned the dark and using this to begin to create our own stories, of what we would ban. The children made cartoon strips of the story and acted these out in their groups.

In Science, the children started learning about different types of teeth and discovered that it was quite difficult to count their own teeth!

In RE this term, the children have learnt about the creation story. This week they have considered what Christians learn from the story of Adam and Eve.

Keep up the great work, Dorset.
