A Victorian Visit!

Our History has continued this week and we have been making plaques to show why we remember Florence Nightingale. The children had to think about the most important reasons then list them. They then had to think about a small picture to add to it. We were then lucky enough to have a visit from Trowbridge Museum who helped bring the whole topic alive and introduced us to another fantastic person, Mary Seacole.

As part of our English lessons, we have looked at different poems and we have thought about our lovely mums. We wrote a poem in the style of a recipe adding in similes and metaphors to help us think about what we were describing. You can see the finished results at our Mother’s Assembly. We have also used the poem by Kit Wright looking at the things we would put into a magic box. This didn’t have to rhyme but could be very silly!

In Maths the Year 2 children have continued to work on their multiplying and dividing and Year 1 have looked at partitioning numbers and have recognised the value of each digit. It wasn’t as easy as it looked!!

Next week we have our termly parent event on Wednesday afternoon at 2.30. It will be lovely to share our learning with you.

The children will need PE kit on Wednesday and Friday next week and Mrs Millard will be in class all-day on Thursday and Friday.

Have a great weekend.
