Hi everyone,
We have been busy planning our sights and sounds poem this week. Using our trip to Armley Mills as inspiration the children have completed a word bank that describes the sights and sounds of a Victorian mill. These educational visits are so valuable to learning and we still have more writing opportunities based on the trip ahead. Below are just a few of the fantastic examples of the diary entries from the past few weeks that have been written in the role of a Victorian school child.
In my maths group we have been investigating the order of operations (BIDMAS / BODMAS). We had a challenging first lesson but everyone quickly consolidated their knowledge and made amazing progress by the end of the week. Next stop....fractions, decimals and percentages.
In Art, the class was introduced to the famous Victorian artist and designer William Morris and his intricate nature inspired designs. We will be looking into his method of block printing to see if we can create some new designs.
It has been lovely to speak to so many parents this week. Thank you for your patience when some of the video calls didn't quite go to plan.
The sun is currently shining. Fingers crossed it stays that like that over the weekend.
Mrs Trotter
