A typical week in Northamptonshire 

Week beginning 25.9.23 

This week, in Northamptonshire, we have been continuing our learning with rounding. We have been using our knowledge of place value to help us and have been rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. In English, we have been researching different topics about Space: constellations, The Milky Way and astrology. With our new knowledge of these topics, we are going to be creating some eye-catching non-fiction texts as we become experts in our research area. In Music, we have enjoyed learning about body percussion and in Geography we are continuing our learning of 4 and 6-figure grid references.
