Weekly Update - Friday 23rd May 2025

 

A Summary of our learning:

This week has seen the end of our first half term of the summer term. The children have been busy in English writing their own persuasive piece of writing. They enjoyed designing their own tool belt, then used their knowledge on persuasive writing to sell their design to their peers. They then enjoyed a Dragon's den scenario where they pitched that design. In maths, the children or learning more about time they learnt how to tell the time to the hour in five-minute intervals they also learnt how to draw hands on analogue clocks. In science, the children learned about the human life cycle and could name the different stages.
