The children enjoyed their visits to Get Fired last week and produced some beautiful artwork. Their tiles have been left in Get Fired to be fired in their kiln. The children will be able to take their tiles home after the half term holiday.
This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will continue to use formal written methods to carry out addition and subtraction calculations. We will learn to check our answers using inverses.
- In English we will write instructions for making a Stone Age tile.
- In science we will test the strength of different magnets.
- In topic time we will continue our learning on the Stone Age.
