Term One Week 2

Our first full week of the term, and indeed the year, and it has been packed full of learning!

As historians, we have embarked on our learning journey of investigating ‘How did settlements stem from The Stone Age?’ which saw us grappling with chronology as we learnt about the three eras : Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age), and Neolithic (New Stone Age). The challenge was then to place events from this period in history on a timeline. We made a good start and are looking forward to completing them in another lesson.

In arithmetic this week, we were consolidating our column addition and subtraction skills by being organised in our mathematical processes and showing our workings out clearly.

As readers, we began our whole-class guided reading sessions by looking a the book ‘Proud’ written by Ibtihaj Muhammad who made history as the first Muslim American woman to win an Olympic medal. In the first session,we explored vocabulary unknown to us and discussed the meanings. 

During science this week, we began exploring electricity which involved making circuits and observing the impact of adding extra light bulbs
