English

We have started our writing based around the text, After the Fall by Dan Santat. To start the unit, we found some cracked eggs in our classrooms and thought about where they might have come from. We then wrote sentences about oviparous animals and created a class fact file. We also made paper airplanes just liked Humpty Dumpty in the story then wrote a recount of how we made them.

Maths

We started the term looking at place value and will move on to addition and subtraction. We use lots of concrete resources and our courtyards.
