Curriculum Overview

Dear parents and carers,
This week in Maths we have been busy collecting data and recording the information in tally charts. The children have really enjoyed this topic: lots of hands-on yet creative learning. After looking at examples of bar charts and how they are presented, we used our data to make our own bar charts. Next week, we will be revising those topics that children found quite tricky and giving them plenty of practise to solidify their learning before the summer.
In English, we have continued our journey with Edward Tulane. In these last chapters, Edward has made beautiful friendships with a tramp and his dog as well as a young boy and his sick sister. It’s definitely proving to be a very emotional story.
In History, we have been looking at how the Romans Romanised Britannia. We learned that the Romans invented underfloor heating, the sewer, robust roads, aqueducts and coins to name but a few. Next week, we will be finding out about how the Romans influenced religion and culture in Britain.
Have a wonderful week.
Mrs Nash, Mrs Britton and Mrs Charlwood.
