Week commencing 27th February

This week in English the children have been creating their own story using a single image as the prompt.

They have been answering a series of questions about the picture and using their knowledge of spelling and grammar to write interesting and detailed answers.  These will then form the basis of their story.

The picture has been taken from the Bayeux Tapestry and after the children have created their own stories we will be introducing them to the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest.

In phonics we are using proper nouns (names of places or people) and making sure that these are always capitalised in writing. The children are also practising this skill in their stories this week.

In maths we are revisiting shape and exploring the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes.
The children have been using the vocabulary of 2D shape (sides and corners) and 3D shape (edges, faces, vertices) to describe the properties.

For topic, we are visiting Norwich Castle Museum to learn more about life in a castle during different periods of history.
