Willow Class learned about the ingenuity of the Beaker people on Friday. We then created our own Bronze Age pots, complete with line patterns.
Oak class has been working really hard this week. We have been writing recounts about our brilliant trip to PGL which the children have really enjoyed. When writing, the children have been focussing on consistently writing in correct tense and accurately using commas to separate clauses and for lists.
Along with this, we have also introduced 'ask me about...' this week. A selection of children will be given stickers which say 'ask me about...' something related to their recent learning. As the children move around the school, this gives them a chance to recall their learning and explain it to others.
