Maths

We have been learning about lines!! We have learnt about vertical and horizontal lines. We can identify them and solve challenges involving them. We also explored lines of symmetry. We apologise for any teething problems with MyMaths – please let us know if you need any help!

We wrote additional chapters, thinking about what might happen when Omri and Patrick got caught with the toys.

Topic

We have been learning about electrical safety this week and produced informative and educational posters. We then worked as a team to conduct a fair test. We were able to confidently use the equipment and planned, recorded and concluded our experiments.

Transition

We hope the children enjoyed their transition day! It was great to think about our new year and what lies ahead.
