This Week's Learning

Term 2 Week 1

In English this week, we will be placing ourselves into the shoes of Samuel Pepys and creating diary entries recounting the events of the Great Fire of London from his point of view. We will start by creating simple action sentences that retell the events. Then we will explore how a range of different adverbial phrases can be used to add detail to these basic sentences.

In Maths, we are going to focus on subtraction problems. We will explore how taking away and partitioning can be used to solve subtraction problems that cross a 10s barrier. We will then use and apply these skills to solve a range of problems in context.

In Time and Place, we will use the ‘Street Through Time’ resource to compare a modern street to a street from 1666. We will also focus on analysing primary sources of information to make historical discoveries about life in London in 1666.

We will also complete PE, RE, and Design and the Arts lessons as well.
