In maths, we have switched our focus to subtraction, breaking numbers into their parts to support this. The children were able to link addition and subtraction facts for the first time, creating fact families. Number bond knowledge is really supporting them with the speed and agility of calculation. It is fascinating to see how well some of the children can explain their mathematical thinking, both verbally and in writing.
In our humanities lesson this week, we were excited to become history detectives and look for clues in some very special artefacts! Mrs Murphy kindly brought in her special collection of teddy bears for us to look at – one bear was over 80 years old! We carefully observed the bears and their condition, ordering them from oldest to newest by looking for clues. We were interested to learn that the oldest bear was stuffed with straw to make him soft.
Have a wonderful weekend!
