In maths we have been continuing our focus on addition and subtraction, learning strategies how to add when crossing the ten. We were all so impressed when the children were nimbly able to combine their number bond to ten knowledge and partitioning skills to complete their calculations. This will stand them in good stead when the numbers and calculations start to get more sophisticated…
Year 2 have launched their geographical enquiry: To study the similarities and differences between Hampton, England and Rusuzumiro, Rwanda. They shall be looking at the geographical features in the contrasting locations by deciding what Hampton and Rusuzumiro have in common, and what features are different. This week we located the 2 localities on a map and tried to sort some images from the 2 places. Our Year 2 geographers made a great start to this enquiry.
The highlight of the week was taking part in a French Workshop at the Prep! The children impressed us all with their ability to order un croissant or un pain au chocolat with un jus de pomme or un jus d’orange. They achieved this by taking part in some fun games and activities. The French Club members were also able to shine with their knowledge! Challenge your child to pronounce croissant accurately – they were formidable!
Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend.
