What a first week back it has been! The children have jumped straight back into their learning after half term and have shown such enthusiasm and determination throughout their learning.

Our focus in our RE lessons this week has been the beatitudes. We have been discussing these in detail and linking these to inspirational people in our lives and throughout history. I can’t wait until the children get to create their own beatitudes and to express the values in which they wish to live by.

In Maths, we have began our huge topic of division and have been looking at larger calcuations which cannot be done mentally. With this, the children were introduced to the famous ‘bus stop method’ in which they took to like a duck to water- so much enthusiasm towards this and pride in using a new method to tackle some harder calculations.

The highlight of our week was right at the very end with our trip to Manchester Science and Industry museum. In order to grasp some inspiration for our upcoming writing topic and also to apply our new forces topic in science, the children got very practical with sensory workshops, experiment galleries and historical talks.
